It seems like most societies throughout history have actively tried to increase their populations, wanting a larger tax base, more agricultural workers, and more soldiers.

I’m looking for someone to come and deep clean my house once or twice a month. I thought of Home Aglow, but I wanted to see if anyone has some recommendations for a good local service.

I know the Irish language was actively suppressed by the British, but when did that start? Would a lower class Irish immigrant to the US in the 1840s be likely to speak English? Would it be a second language?

German and Scandinavian languages were commonly spoken in the American Midwest well into the 20th century, but I’m not aware of similar Irish speaking enclaves, even in east coast cities (but I could be wrong).
