(1) Describe the various stereotypes of late nineteenth century Irish immigrants and Irish-Americans found in the different political cartoons located on the assigned website.
(2) Based on your textbook reading assignment (chapter 18), the information on the assigned website, and your own critical thinking, answer the following question: What function did nineteenth century (1800s) stereotypes of immigrants and others serve in America?
(3) Go to www.google.com, select "images" at the top of the screen, then type "Irish immigrants" in the search box and conduct a search. You may want to do this same search for “Irish Americans.” What similarities do you see between the nineteenth century stereotypes of the Irish immigrants and the way the Irish are portrayed in today's popular culture and advertising? Any differences? (it will be useful if you can post a sample image in your post in order to prove your point)
