Irish left because it was better than dying of starvation in a massively 
overpopulated country.
Many N Europeans left because they were simply too pious to be 
tolerated. As where the original pilgrim fathers.
English left because they were second sons and had no estates, but they 
had enough to buy them in the Americas.
Italians probably left to escape poverty, like the Irish.
