The Irish Potato Famine, unemployment, poverty, and the lack of farmland were some of the reasons why people immigrated to British North America. Thesee reasons are:
A. Pull gators of immigration
B. Push factors of immigration.
C. All in a days work.
D. The terms of the Treaty of Ghent.
I picked D. I'd it correct? Please help
You "picked D"? Does that mean you guessed? Here's info on D:

If all those things happened in their homeland, and then they moved to the US, that's a push factor.
If all those things happened in the US to draw them to immigrate, then that's a pull factor.
THINK CAREFULLY, and try again. Don't guess! Choose thoughtfully, based on what each of those terms mean.
No, your answer is not correct. The correct answer is B. Push factors of immigration.
The Irish Potato Famine, unemployment, poverty, and the lack of farmland in Ireland during the 19th century were all push factors that motivated people to leave their homes and seek opportunities in other countries, particularly in British North America (now Canada). These push factors were the conditions and circumstances that compelled people to emigrate rather than the conditions that attracted them to a new country or region (known as pull factors).
So, in this case, the reasons you mentioned, such as the Potato Famine and poverty, were the push factors of immigration, pushing people to leave Ireland and seek better lives elsewhere.
