The Brittish goverment was unwilling to do anything for two reasons. First was the laissez-faire capitalistic ideology, that put the rights of property owners to make profits above human lives. Rent freeze was unthinkable and they even were unwilling to do proper relief efforts as free food would lower the cost of food. The second reason was distain for the Irish, and the thought that they were “breeding too much” and the famine was a natural way to trim down the population, aka genocidal reasoning.

This is why it’s important to stress it was not a potato famine. The potato blinght was all over Europe but only in Ireland there was a famine. The reasons behind it had nothing to do with potatos and everything to do with the Brittish.

Apparently what made Choctaw want to offer relief to Irish was the news about the Doolough Tragedy. Hundreds of starving people were gathered for inspection to verify they were entitled to recieve relief. The officials would for *some reason* not do that and instead left to a hunting lodge 19 kilometers away to spend the night and said to the starvqing people they would have to walk there by morning to be inspected. The weather conditions were terrible and many of them died completely needlessly during the walk thoroung day and night.

This apparently reminded the Choctaw of their own very recent (and much more explicit and bigger scale) experiences of ethnic clensing, where they were forcibly relocated. It was basically a death march and thousands of Choctaw died from the terrible conditions also completely needlessly.

In 2015 a memorial named Kindred Spirits was installed in Southern Ireland to commemorate the Chactow donation.

Then in 2020:

"Between 1500 and 1600 there were fifty-four women who published books and managed book establishments in Paris. While some of these women were substantial publishers, approximately half published for one or two years and then disappeared from view. Of those who had a longer career, fifteen were active from three to seven years, and the rest (about fifteen) exercised their profession from eight to as long as thirty-five years. 

A sampling of the women involved in printing/publish and a simple listing of the numbers of titles issued under imprints should suffice to show the diversity of their interests and their success in administering very complex businesses. One of the earliest was the widow Trepperel, who, sometimes acting alone other times collaborating with her son-in-law, produced 121 books of romances in the vernacular. 

Between 1522 and 1557, Yolande Bonhomme's business produced over two hundred scholarly and liturgical books, bibles, and books of hours. Most women continued the traditions of firms which they inherited: Charlotte Guillard produced over 160 books on the early Church Fathers and canon and Roman law; Lucrèce Dugué- active from 1593 to the first decades of the seventeenth century- continued the musical production of the Ballard firm; Catherine L'Heritier (mid-sixteenth century) carried on the classics tradition of her husband's firm; the Regnault family concentrated on popular liturgical books in Latin and the vernacular; and Nicole Pleau's firm continued to print the ordinances of the realm, a highly lucrative monopoly originally granted by royal privilege to her husband, Jean Dallier. Marie Lescalloppier, however, changed the direction of her firm from music, which her husband had printed, to religious books and the classics.

As a group women published more than 1,250 titles of the 25,000 estimated to have been published throughout the course of the sixteenth century in Paris. Thus, women as a group, either alone or in partnership, produced approximately five percent of the books in Paris in the sixteenth century, a total not insignificant when one compares it to figures for London for the same period of time. For the whole of the sixteenth century London could count only seventeen women booksellers and printers, and of these only five women actually printed books. In all, these five women brought out a total of eighty-five books, a very much smaller figure than that of their Parisian counterparts."
