Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Irish were least tolerant of enslaved African Americans. They competed with blacks for low-paying jobs and resented the fact that African Americans were sometimes hired instead of them. Many Irish immigrants also believed in the ideology of white supremacy and saw themselves as superior to other races, including African Americans. This led to violent clashes between Irish immigrants and African Americans in cities like New York and Boston.
