| Notes: | Father Eugene MacNamara's activities to colonize much of California, including the San Joaquin Valley, with Irish families in the 1840s, precipitated the Mexican-US War. MacNamara's Mexican project could have led to the founding of a 'New Ireland', but it was thwarted by President Polk whose forces seized California.
