“When the Irish came here to the US, they had a political sophistication which fasttracked them into US society through urban politics. Perfect example, the Chicago Ward system, direct throwback to Irish underground societies.”

I would say that unlike the French who DID protest to the king, the Irish were busy plotting and building sophisticated underground political organizations (Military/terrorist history another story).
