The group of Irish people migrated to Texas to escape famine.
Explanation:
Angered by the negligible assistance offered by the British, around one and a half million Irish chose to leave Ireland and migrate to the United States owing to the famine that was prevalent during 1845-1855.
After the potato crops were destroyed due to diseases for many consecutive years, the people of Ireland were devastated and were left with no other option other than fleeing Ireland in large numbers.
The Irish migrants who reached America settled at various places. Texas became one of the most important places of their refuge.
