Section 1- On January 15th,1845 Mr. John Eidleback immigrated from Ireland to the United States. Mr. Eidleback arrived in New York Harbor on April 19th,1845. He was in his early twenties when he first stepped foot on American soil. He came to "America" to flee from the potato famine, which he claimed as the biggest natural disaster. Mr. John Eidleback also came to the United States to find a job, and to earn money to bring his wife and two daughters to this new prosperous country. He wanted his family to live a better life of fuller opportunities. It took Mr. Eidleback fifteen years to earn enough money to have his wife and children come join him in the land of opportunities, but to his dismay his wife had died and his daughters have been living off the streets for eight years. He was depressed but wanted to make something of himself to make them proud. John became a shoemaker. He remarried to a woman named Sara Small. He and his wife led a thriving shoe shop until Mr. John Eidleback's death in 1885. Mrs. Sara Eidleback became a widow and continued the shoe shop in memory of her husband.
Section 2- If the American Colonies didn't separate from the British Empire then the history and development of the country of Canada would be affected because the majority of the population would have been British. The History would then be of British beliefs/customs, religion, and language. It certainly wouldn't be like anything it is today. It would probably be controlled by England.
