The Irish were treated no differently in Boston than other immigrants then or immigrants in the US today. There were many jobs available to them in manufacturing and the mills It was a center for international trade. The railroads were a boom to Boston and provided many additional jobsw as well. John Phillips was the first Boston born Mayor of Boston 1822.
