Question: Who brought the Halloween tradition to the United States?
Answer: Halloween originated in ancient Ireland as a Gaelic festival marking the end of the harvest from October 31 to November 1. People wore disguises, went door-to-door reciting verses, and collected gifts and food for feasts. By the 19th century, it was renamed Halloween. Irish immigrants fleeing the 1840s potato famine carried these Halloween traditions to the U.S.
