Between 1870 and 1920, the United States underwent rapid urbanization as immigrants arrived seeking jobs. Most immigrants were not refugees but job seekers attracted to new economic opportunities like free labor and secure private property. The largest number of immigrants in U.S. history arrived during this time period, with many Germans, Russians, Jews, and others migrating. Many immigrants found work in cities, with over 70% of German-employed males and 84% of Irish-employed males working outside of agriculture by 1900. However, some immigrants also settled in rural areas as farmers, taking advantage of land offered by railroads and the government.

Immigration
Immigration to America has occurred in waves throughout history. During the colonial era, most immigrants came from northern Europe, but this declined during the Revolutionary War. Immigration increased strongly again in the 1840s-1850s, with most newcomers originating from Ireland and Germany fleeing famine and crop failures. By the 1860s, over half of New York City's population was immigrants or their American-born children. After the Civil War, America's growing economy attracted many European workers between 1866-1915, initially from northern Europe but later mostly from southern and eastern Europe. Reaction to events like the Russian Revolution led to immigration quotas and restrictions in the 1920s based on national origin. Immigration declined during World War I, the 1920s, and 1930
Immigration steamboat
This document summarizes immigration trends in the United States between 1800-1860. It describes the push and pull factors for Irish and German immigration, including poverty, famine and economic troubles as push factors and opportunities for a better life and jobs as pull factors. Over 3.5 million Irish and 1 million Germans immigrated during this period. It also discusses the rise of anti-immigrant groups like the Know-Nothings and their persecution of Catholics. Chinese immigration is briefly discussed due to the California Gold Rush.
Immigration And Nationalism
The document discusses several aspects of immigration and nationalism in the United States between 1830-1860. It describes the Indian Removal Act which forced Native American tribes west of the Mississippi. It also discusses the concepts of Manifest Destiny and expansionism. The Know Nothing Party emerged opposing immigration, especially Catholic immigration. The Potato Famine led to a surge of Irish immigrants in the 1840s-1850s who worked on infrastructure projects. Chinese and German immigration also increased during this period.
New York City
- Henry Hudson discovered New York City in 1609 while searching for a western passage to Asia for the Dutch. The Dutch West India Company later established the first trading post, which they named New Amsterdam, in 1624.
- In 1664, Britain took control of New York City without conflict and renamed it New York. By 1700, New York had become the third largest port in the British Empire.
- The opening of the Erie Canal in 1825 caused a spike in New York City's growth, doubling its population to over 80,000 within a decade. During this period, New York also grew as a cultural and economic center of the United States.
Unit 1 notes 2
The document outlines the key differences between the North and South in the United States prior to the Civil War. The North was more urban, industrial, and had railroads, factories, immigrants, and no slavery, while the South was more rural, agricultural, relied on cotton, had little industry and railroads, few immigrants, and legal slavery. It then discusses the Compromise of 1850 which admitted California as a free state but also strengthened the Fugitive Slave Act, causing tensions over the issue of slavery in new western territories to increase.
New York City
The document discusses the history of New York City from its founding as New Amsterdam by the Dutch in the early 1600s. It covers the city under British rule starting in 1664, its role in the American Revolutionary War, and its growth in the early 1800s aided by the opening of the Erie Canal. The document also describes New York City becoming a cultural center and experiencing massive Irish immigration during the potato famine as well as being the primary port of entry for most European immigrants to the United States throughout the 19th century.
Antebellum Immigration Powerpoint
The document discusses immigration to the United States during the 1840s and 1850s, focusing on Irish and German immigrants. Most Irish immigrants arrived due to the potato famine in Ireland in the 1840s. They faced discrimination and often worked low-skilled jobs. German immigrants came due to problems in Europe like crop failures and sought political freedom. They supported causes like public education and opposed slavery. Both groups faced discrimination from native-born Americans who feared they would undermine American culture and values.
Nativism
Nativism is defined as anti-immigration sentiment that favors native-born inhabitants over newcomers. Nativism first emerged in colonial Pennsylvania with Benjamin Franklin's hostility towards Germans and intensified with the Alien and Sedition Acts of 1798. In the 1830s-1850s, nativist outbursts targeted Irish Catholics and led to the formation of secret societies like the Order of the Star Spangled Banner in 1849 and the American Party in 1852, which campaigned against Catholics and longer wait times for naturalization. Nativism was also directed against Germans in the 1840s, Chinese immigrants in the 1870s who faced attacks driving them from towns, and culminated with the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882

14 1 immigrants and urban challenges
Millions of immigrants arrived in the United States between 1840-1860, mostly from Ireland and Germany. The Irish potato famine and political unrest in Germany drove many to immigrate for new opportunities. Irish immigrants mostly settled in Northeast cities and worked low-paying jobs, while Germans often settled in the Midwest and worked as farmers or skilled laborers. Rapid urbanization led to overcrowded and unsanitary living conditions in cities, as tenement housing lacked basic services, leading to increased disease, crime, and other issues. Nativist groups opposed immigration, worrying immigrants took jobs and brought different cultures.
Immigration And Nativism Presentation Final
Between 1830-1860, large numbers of German and Irish immigrants came to America due to overpopulation and famine in Europe. Germans made up the majority and settled in the Midwest, while Irish immigration increased dramatically in the 1840s due to the potato famine. Their arrival led to prejudice from nativist groups like the Know-Nothings, who feared Catholicism and wanted to restrict immigration. However, immigrants also contributed their cultures and traditions to America and provided cheap labor that benefited the economy.
Patterns Of Immigration
The document summarizes patterns of old and new immigration to the United States. The old immigration from 1830-1880 saw many arrivals from northern and western Europe, especially Ireland and Germany fleeing famine and political unrest. The new immigration from the late 1800s to early 1900s saw immigrants mainly from southern and eastern Europe like Italy, Russia, and Poland settling in ethnic neighborhoods in American cities. Some native-born Americans worried these immigrants would not assimilate and resented them for lowering wages, leading to discriminatory groups and laws against Catholic and Chinese immigrants.
Migration And Mobility Pt3
International migration since the 16th century has consisted of two main streams: labor migration and refugee flows. The largest migration in history was approximately 60 million Europeans emigrating from Europe beginning in the 16th century. The United States experienced major periods of immigration between the 17th-19th centuries, from 1820-1860, 1860-1890, 1890-1910, and since 1965 to present day. Each period saw shifts in the countries and regions that immigrants emigrated from, including Germany, Ireland, China, Italy, and Mexico at different times. Legislation such as the National Origins Act of 1924 and Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965 altered immigration patterns and levels.
Ning NY Episode 2
Over 1.5 million Irish immigrants migrated to New York City during the 1840s to escape the Irish Potato Famine, many arriving on overcrowded "coffin ships" and with high death rates along the journey. They comprised the largest group of immigrants in New York next to Dublin. Most Irish settlers suffered greatly from disease, famine, lack of work and living conditions in the crowded Five Points neighborhood, where they also clashed over jobs and housing with existing black residents. Newspapers like the New York Herald became important sources of information for citizens, reporting on crime, fires and other daily events. The opening of the Erie Canal transformed New York into an economic hub, diverting trade from the Midwest and fueling the city's

The document describes conflicts over land and resources between rich landowners and native tribes in remote areas. It also discusses how a German aristocrat and Swiss artist documented Plains Indian tribes at a time when Americans lacked empathy for them. The document then shifts to discussing the hard times of President Lincoln during the American Civil War, including the high death toll from wounds and infections. It concludes by mentioning the completion of the Brooklyn Bridge after 14 years of construction by immigrant laborers paid $2 per day, and a corrupt politician who helped the poor while stealing money until being jailed. Jacob Riis then documented the poor living conditions of tenements and child poverty in his work.
The various ethnic groups who came to Trinidad and Tobago
The various ethnic groups who came to Trinidad and Tobago include the indigenous Amerindians, Europeans who colonized the region, enslaved Africans who comprised the largest ethnic group, indentured Indian and Chinese workers who filled post-slavery labor needs, and Syrian and Lebanese immigrants who established successful businesses. Together these diverse groups have blended their cultural influences to shape Trinidad and Tobago's culture, seen in foods, religions, languages, and other traditions.
1.3 lifeinthe britishcolonies
The British colonies in North America had diverse economies and governments but also shared some common traits. They were largely self-governed but remained under control of the British Parliament and king. Colonial assemblies passed laws and levied taxes, typically dominated by wealthy landowners. The colonies participated extensively in the trans-Atlantic trade of goods, with the Southern colonies exporting cash crops like tobacco and the New England colonies exporting fish and whale oil. Regional differences divided the colonies into the predominantly agricultural Southern colonies and the more economically diverse Northern colonies.
America 1700 1763
The document summarizes the settlement and development of America between 1700-1763. It describes how explorers and settlers from Spain, France, and England arrived for different reasons, with the English seeking religious freedom and opportunity. By 1740, the colonies had developed distinct social and political differences. The French and Indian War helped the colonies unite against a common enemy and produced leaders like Washington and Franklin. However, Britain's attempts to tax the colonies to repay war debts without representation led to growing tensions.
Mackenzie King
William Lyon Mackenzie King was the tenth prime minister of Canada, serving three non-consecutive terms from 1921 to 1948. He was the longest serving prime minister in British Commonwealth history. King was a leader of the Liberal Party and worked to balance tariffs to please both farmers and manufacturers. During the Great Depression, he implemented relief programs to help Canadians. King oversaw controversial policies like the internment of Japanese Canadians during World War II.
SIA Keynote
Slavery was first introduced to North America in 1619 when a ship carrying enslaved Africans arrived in Virginia. By the early 19th century, the majority of slaves were in southern states working large plantations growing crops like cotton and sugar cane. Slavery became a contentious political issue leading up to the Civil War, and its abolition was made constitutional after the Union's victory. An estimated 12 million Africans were shipped to the Americas as slaves between the 16th-19th centuries, with over 600,000 brought to what is now the United States.

They’re Coming To America 2
This document discusses the "New Immigration" period in America from 1880-1920, when large numbers of immigrants arrived from Southern and Eastern Europe as well as Asia. It describes the national origins and experiences of Italian, Eastern European, Russian, Japanese, Chinese, Korean, and Jewish immigrants. It also discusses the anti-immigrant sentiment and restrictive laws passed in response to the new arrivals, including the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 and Immigration Acts of 1917 that established quotas and barred certain groups.
British history
The document provides an overview of British history with a focus on Britain's position in the European Union. It discusses Britain's role as a colonial superpower under Queen Victoria. It also examines Britain's monarchs Queen Elizabeth I and Queen Elizabeth II. The document analyzes Britain's opinions towards the EU, with some believing EU membership enhances economic and political ties while others feel it threatens Britain's independence and identity.
Migration
Three examples of world migration patterns are described:
1) Migration to the USA involved slaves from Africa, English immigrants, Chinese workers building railroads, Germans after the 1848 revolution, and Italians encouraged by their government to emigrate for economic reasons. Propaganda portrayed the USA as a land of opportunity without oppression.
2) Migration to the UK involved British emigrants to colonies through the 18th-19th centuries and mass immigration after World War 2.
3) Migration patterns in Spain involved Spanish emigrants, later immigrants, and some emigrants again. Immigration to Spain increased in the new century, with South Americans arriving mainly through airports rather than small boats.
British culture
The first settlers of Britain were nomadic groups from mainland Europe who arrived as early as 10,000 BC. Later settlers came from northern and central Europe and populated eastern Britain, while others arrived from Iberia and settled in southwest England, Ireland, the Isle of Man and western Scotland. The Norman conquest of 1066 had a significant influence on British history and institutions. Despite some intermingling, racial differences remained between the English, Irish, Welsh and Scottish. England sought to unite the countries under its rule through both military and political means, though Scotland and Ireland maintained independence at various points. Britain experienced waves of immigration over the centuries from groups like the Dutch, French Huguenots, Jews and others fleeing persecution in Europe as

It details how England established colonies in North America and exploited the slave trade to develop prosperous plantations. England also came to dominate trade in India, defeating French and Dutch rivals. At its peak, the British Empire spanned the globe and was the largest empire in world history.
INMIGRATION IN THE USA
This document summarizes United States immigration from 1820 to 2000. It describes the major waves of immigration and the ethnic groups that immigrated during each period. In the 1820-1880 period, immigrants included African slaves, English, Chinese workers, and Germans. From 1880-1930, most immigrants came from southern Italy and Jewish people fled Russian pogroms. Ellis Island processed millions of immigrants from 1850-1954. Immigrants settled across the country, with Italians concentrated in New York, Irish on the East Coast, Germans in the Midwest, and Mexicans and Central/South Americans in the Southwest. By 2000, the largest ancestry groups in the US were Germans, African Americans, Irish, Mexicans, and Italians
Immigration 1865-1914
1. Between 1865 and 1914, around 25 million Europeans immigrated to the United States, more than half coming from eastern and southern Europe.
2. Immigrants arrived through ports like Ellis Island and Angel Island, where they underwent inspections before most settled in American cities.
3. Nativist sentiment grew among some Americans who feared immigrants would not assimilate or take jobs, leading to organizations opposed to Catholic and Asian immigration and exclusionary laws.

Day 88 Immigration and Social Class in Urban America Directions: Use the data provided below to create a demographic map of New York City in c. 1900 that provides the following data: distribution of immigrant population, population density, approximant distribution of income, occupation category (i.e. labor, merchant, management…)
THE IRISH In the 1840’s a massive number of Irish-Catholics immigrated to the United States. By 1855, there were over 200,000 Irish in New York City [7] . The Irish often arrived in America with few material possessions and were forced to live in squalor. Irish immigrants were poorer than other immigrant groups, and therefore lived in the worst conditions. By the 1840’s, Five Points, an infamous slum reported to have averaged one murder per day, was predominantly Irish. This area was located in Manhattan’s Sixth Ward near Mulberry Bend [9] . Illustrious visitors including Davy Crockett, Charles Dickens (with two police escorts),Abraham Lincoln, and a Russian archduke, came to gawk at the foulness [10] . In American Notes for General Circulation (1842) Dickens wrote: This is the place these narrow ways, diverging to the right and left, and reeking everywhere with dirt and filth… Debauchery has made the very houses prematurely old. See how the rotten beams are tumbling down, and how the patched and broken windows seem to scowl dimly, like eyes that have been hurt in drunken frays. Many of those pigs live here. Do they ever wonder why their masters walk upright in lieu of going on all-fours? And why they talk instead of grunting? [11] In 1855, the population of the Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Wards of the city, which stretched from the Hudson to the East River south of Canal Street, was thirty-seven percent foreign born Irish.
THE GERMANS In the years between 1830 and 1860, there was also an influx of “German” immigrants. There was no unified Germany until 1871; these “Germans” were actually Prussians, Bavarians, Hessians, Rhinelanders, Pomeranians, and Westphalians. Most of the immigrants were farmers that were uprooted by crop failures. However a significant minority were liberals who fled after the revolutions of 1848 failed to democratize Germany. Unlike the Irish, the Germans usually traveled to America with a modest amount of capital, and were able to move West and purchase land in states like Wisconsin and Texas. Milwaukee became known as the “German Athens.” Those who stayed in New York often opened their own shops that catered to other immigrants. They were on the whole also more educated that the Irish. The chief German neighborhood in New York City was Kleindeutschland, which lay on the East River between 14th and Grand street [16]. By 1865, 57,796 foreign-born Germans lived in Wards Ten, Eleven, Thirteen, and Seventeen, which made up the Lower East Side of Manhattan.
THE RUSSIAN JEWS The Russians Jews settled in New York in the largest nu.

INMIGRATION IN THE USA
This document summarizes United States immigration from 1820 to 2000. It describes the major waves of immigration and the ethnic groups that immigrated during each period. In the 1820-1880 period, immigrants included African slaves, English, Chinese workers, and Germans. From 1880-1930, most immigrants came from southern Italy and Jewish people fled Russian pogroms. Ellis Island processed millions of immigrants from 1850-1954. Immigrants settled across the country, with Italians concentrated in New York, Irish on the East Coast, Germans in the Midwest, and Mexicans and Central/South Americans in the Southwest. By 2000, the largest ancestry groups in the US were Germans, African Americans, Irish, Mexicans, and Italians
Immigration 1865-1914
1. Between 1865 and 1914, around 25 million Europeans immigrated to the United States, more than half coming from eastern and southern Europe.
2. Immigrants arrived through ports like Ellis Island and Angel Island, where they underwent inspections before most settled in American cities.
3. Nativist sentiment grew among some Americans who feared immigrants would not assimilate or take jobs, leading to organizations opposed to Catholic and Asian immigration and exclusionary laws.

Day 88 Immigration and Social Class in Urban America Directions: Use the data provided below to create a demographic map of New York City in c. 1900 that provides the following data: distribution of immigrant population, population density, approximant distribution of income, occupation category (i.e. labor, merchant, management…)
THE IRISH In the 1840’s a massive number of Irish-Catholics immigrated to the United States. By 1855, there were over 200,000 Irish in New York City [7] . The Irish often arrived in America with few material possessions and were forced to live in squalor. Irish immigrants were poorer than other immigrant groups, and therefore lived in the worst conditions. By the 1840’s, Five Points, an infamous slum reported to have averaged one murder per day, was predominantly Irish. This area was located in Manhattan’s Sixth Ward near Mulberry Bend [9] . Illustrious visitors including Davy Crockett, Charles Dickens (with two police escorts),Abraham Lincoln, and a Russian archduke, came to gawk at the foulness [10] . In American Notes for General Circulation (1842) Dickens wrote: This is the place these narrow ways, diverging to the right and left, and reeking everywhere with dirt and filth… Debauchery has made the very houses prematurely old. See how the rotten beams are tumbling down, and how the patched and broken windows seem to scowl dimly, like eyes that have been hurt in drunken frays. Many of those pigs live here. Do they ever wonder why their masters walk upright in lieu of going on all-fours? And why they talk instead of grunting? [11] In 1855, the population of the Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Wards of the city, which stretched from the Hudson to the East River south of Canal Street, was thirty-seven percent foreign born Irish.
THE GERMANS In the years between 1830 and 1860, there was also an influx of “German” immigrants. There was no unified Germany until 1871; these “Germans” were actually Prussians, Bavarians, Hessians, Rhinelanders, Pomeranians, and Westphalians. Most of the immigrants were farmers that were uprooted by crop failures. However a significant minority were liberals who fled after the revolutions of 1848 failed to democratize Germany. Unlike the Irish, the Germans usually traveled to America with a modest amount of capital, and were able to move West and purchase land in states like Wisconsin and Texas. Milwaukee became known as the “German Athens.” Those who stayed in New York often opened their own shops that catered to other immigrants. They were on the whole also more educated that the Irish. The chief German neighborhood in New York City was Kleindeutschland, which lay on the East River between 14th and Grand street [16]. By 1865, 57,796 foreign-born Germans lived in Wards Ten, Eleven, Thirteen, and Seventeen, which made up the Lower East Side of Manhattan.
THE RUSSIAN JEWS The Russians Jews settled in New York in the largest nu.

American Civ Chapter two: A Land of Immigrants
This document provides a historical overview of immigration to the United States. It discusses the successive waves of European immigration from the 16th to 19th centuries from countries like Spain, France, England, Germany, and Ireland. In the late 19th century, there was a large influx of immigrants from Southern and Eastern Europe which led to nativist sentiment and policies restricting immigration. The document also outlines push/pull factors for immigration and debates around illegal immigration and exclusion policies targeting specific ethnic groups.
Immigrants in America.ppt
Millions of immigrants moved to the United States between 1865-1915, with most arriving at Ellis Island in New York or Angel Island in California. Early immigrants were from northern Europe but later ones were southern and eastern Europeans, Jews, Catholics, and unskilled workers who settled in cities. They came due to push factors like poverty, war, and religious persecution in their home countries, as well as pull factors like available land, jobs, and freedom in America. Immigrants faced difficult conditions including disease-ridden transatlantic voyages and crowded urban living, but helped develop American cities and industries while maintaining aspects of their ethnic identities.
Immigration steamboat
The document summarizes immigration trends in the United States between 1800-1860, including the large influx of Irish and German immigrants and factors driving them to emigrate such as poverty, famine and economic troubles. It also discusses the nativist movement and groups opposing immigration, especially the Know Nothing party, and their persecution of Catholics. Finally, it mentions early Chinese immigration to America during the Gold Rush era and laws like the Chinese Exclusion Act that later limited Chinese immigration.
Unit 1 powerpoint #4 (the gilded age immigration)
Immigration to the United States increased dramatically in the late 19th century, with over 1.5 million immigrants arriving between 1840-1850, nearly half of whom were Irish fleeing the potato famine. By the early 20th century, most new immigrants originated from Southern and Eastern Europe, settling in ethnic enclaves in major cities. However, many native-born Americans grew wary of the cultural changes brought by immigration and blamed newcomers for issues like low wages and overcrowded living conditions. Laws like the Chinese Exclusion Act aimed to stem the flow of immigrants.
Immigration ch. 10.1
After the Civil War, immigration to the US increased greatly from Europe, with over half coming from eastern and southern Europe by 1900. Many settled in ethnic enclaves in cities. Growing nativism in response led to restrictions on Asian and Catholic immigration. The Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 barred Chinese immigration for 10 years and prevented citizenship for Chinese already in the US, remaining in effect until 1943.

Between 1870 and 1920, millions of immigrants came to America from Europe, changing the country's demographics and sparking some fears about preserving American culture and farming lifestyle. While early restrictions were imposed due to prejudice, immigration was later welcomed for providing free labor needed for economic development. Most immigrants were young, unmarried individuals seeking work, and their arrival helped fuel population growth and the expansion of industrial towns and non-farming jobs across the United States in the late 1800s.
IV Imigration
This document discusses mass transatlantic migration between 1870-1914, when over 23 million immigrants arrived in the United States, most through Ellis Island. During this period, immigrants also ventured to other new world countries like Canada and Argentina seeking work. While intra-European migration was often a means to eventually leave for the new world, the scale and diversity of immigration to the US was much greater than in other countries. Native-born Americans increasingly resented immigrants and accused them of social and economic problems.
HISTORY YEAR 10: IMMIGRATION IN AMERICA, AN ISSUE?
This document summarizes immigration to the United States from 1910-1929. Millions of immigrants arrived during this period, especially from Europe, creating a diverse melting pot but also social challenges. In response, the US government passed several laws restricting immigration, including literacy tests and quotas that targeted southern and eastern Europeans. Additionally, the Red Scare period involved raids and deportations of immigrants suspected of harboring communist sympathies. Finally, the document discusses the controversial trial and execution of Italian immigrants Sacco and Vanzetti, which illustrated the prejudice some faced as immigrants during this era of increased restriction.
Urbanization svik
Immigrants formed ethnic neighborhoods in places like New York City's Little Italy and Lower East Side in the late 1800s/early 1900s. While they recreated customs from their homelands, Americans questioned if they could adapt. Chinese immigrants also faced unfair treatment - they worked for low wages but white workers blamed them for lowered wages. This led to the 1882 Chinese Exclusion Act, the first law to restrict immigration to the US by ethnicity which banned Chinese immigration for 10 years.

- New York City's population and economy exploded after the opening of the Erie Canal in 1825, transforming it into the largest industrial city and commercial center in the United States.
- In the late 19th century, Jacob Riis' photographs in "How the Other Half Lives" brought attention to the extreme poverty and poor living conditions in New York City's tenements and slums.
- Between 1870-1914, millions of migrants traveled across the Atlantic to the United States, with New York receiving many immigrants due to its large port, though nativist sentiment grew concerned about the influx of newcomers.
The American people
The document provides information on the different groups of people that make up the American population throughout history. It discusses the Native Americans as the original inhabitants, followed by groups like the British, African Americans, and immigrants from various parts of Europe and Asia at different time periods. It also explores concepts like the "melting pot" view of a shared American culture versus the "mosaic" view of maintaining separate cultural identities within the nation.
kkk Immigration
The document discusses the rise of the Ku Klux Klan in the 1920s in the United States. It summarizes that the KKK targeted African Americans, immigrants, Catholics and Jews during this period and used violence and terror tactics. At its peak in the mid-1920s, the KKK had over 5 million members and wielded significant political influence, especially in the Midwest and South. However, the KKK's membership and influence declined later in the 1920s due to scandals, corruption within the organization, and public backlash against their violent tactics.
History of Immigration
The document provides information on the history of immigration to the United States through several periods from the 1800s to early 1900s. It describes the large waves of immigration from Northern and Western Europe in the first half of the 1800s due to famine and economic hardship. Later waves brought immigrants from Southern and Eastern Europe from 1890-1914 seeking greater economic opportunity. The document also outlines some of the key push and pull factors that motivated immigration and lists immigration laws over time that established requirements and quotas.
Immigration
Germans make up the largest ancestry group in the United States, with over 50 million Americans claiming German heritage. Beginning in the 17th century, millions of German immigrants came to America for religious freedom, economic opportunities, and to escape difficult conditions in Europe. Germans contributed greatly to American culture, introducing customs like Christmas trees and popularizing foods such as hamburgers, hot dogs, and beer. German influence can still be seen in the cuisine and festivals of the Midwest.

Ecumenopolis
By the early 20th century, San Francisco had a higher foreign-born population than any other US city. The 1920s saw an influx of Mexican immigrants into California's fields. By the late 20th century, over 80 languages were spoken by students in the Los Angeles school district, reflecting the state's diversity. However, tensions rose as seen in the 1965 Watts riots in LA and anti-immigration measures like Proposition 187 in 1994, reflecting concerns over illegal immigration and preferences.
O Brave New World!
California played a leading role in many scientific and technological developments in the 19th and 20th centuries. It pioneered hydroelectric power, vacuum tube technology enabling radio and television, atomic research in the 1930s, and biotechnology. Many important scientific institutions were also established in California like the California Academy of Sciences in 1853 and the University of California in 1869 which focused on fields like mining, geology and engineering. California was the site of many aviation firsts and breakthroughs in electronics and particle physics that advanced science and technology.
Making It Happen
California experienced economic diversification that helped delay the impact of the Great Depression. In the 1860s, the labor union movement gained strength in California and tensions rose, including with Chinese immigrants. In the 1880s, a bomb exploded during an eight-hour workday rally in San Francisco. In the early 20th century, the bombing of a newspaper hindered the labor movement in Los Angeles for 25 years. Mexican American field workers organized the first union for their community in 1927.

The two most important post-World War II movements were the battles for civil rights and women's rights. In the 1950s and early 1960s, nonviolent protesters in both the United States and South Africa tried to end racial segregation, with Martin Luther King Jr. and the American civil rights movement employing Christian and Gandhian nonviolent tactics, while the African National Congress in South Africa also used nonviolent resistance but faced violent retaliation from the apartheid government. Nelson Mandela was imprisoned for decades for his role in opposing apartheid.

During the 1930s, Adolf Hitler repudiated the Treaty of Versailles and aggressively expanded Germany's military, taking it out of the League of Nations and forming an alliance with Mussolini. Hitler began seizing European territories, invading Poland in 1939 and plunging Europe into war. Though neutral, the US helped Britain by transferring destroyers in exchange for bases to save Britain at all costs. This Lend-Lease Act also applied to Russia after Germany invaded in 1941. Japan's surprise attack on Pearl Harbor drew the US into the war as Roosevelt believed America should promote world peace.

The Great Depression began with the stock market crash on Black Tuesday in October 1929, which began a steep decline that lowered stock prices by almost half within three weeks. Other factors exacerbated the crisis, including Western Europe's debt from WWI, agricultural overproduction in the 1920s, the US reluctance to replace Britain as the world's banker, and counterproductive nationalist economic policies pursued by many countries. Between 1929-1933 over 11,000 American banks failed, national production was cut in half, and unemployment rose to between 15-25% as 13 million lost their jobs. The Depression led to the rise of the modern welfare state and a stronger central government role in the economy.

Between 1889 and 1904, the United States emerged as a world power and established control over various territories around the globe through conquest, purchase, and annexation. This included dividing Samoa with Germany, annexing Hawaii, and acquiring the Philippines, Guam, Puerto Rico, and the Panama Canal zone from other nations. While the new American Empire faced resistance from indigenous peoples and controversy at home, the U.S. approached governing these territories through various forms of indirect rule, allocating them between different government departments and agencies.

Between the Civil War and 1900, westward expansion by American settlers led to conflicts with Native Americans over land. The U.S. government forced Native Americans onto reservations isolated from settlers to reduce violence and try to assimilate them into white culture. When Native Americans resisted being removed from their lands, wars broke out between them and the U.S. government. Major conflicts culminated in 1876-1877 between the U.S. Army and the Sioux and Nez Perce tribes, with Chief Joseph of the Nez Perce surrendering in 1877, ending most of the wars.
Latin America In The 19th Century
The document discusses Latin American independence in the early 19th century as Spain's colonies declared independence following the Napoleonic invasion of Spain. It then examines Latin America in the mid-19th century as the newly independent nations struggled with instability, civil wars, and developing national identities. The document also analyzes Britain's economic and political influence in Latin America during this period as well as several Latin American wars in the early 19th century that solidified new national boundaries and governments.
Crossroads Of Freedom
The document summarizes several chapters from a book about the American Civil War. It describes key battles and events in 1861-1862, including Union victories capturing forts and cities in Tennessee and the Mississippi River valley. However, the Confederates had successes in the Shenandoah Valley and at Bull Run. The Union suffered devastating losses when General Lee invaded Maryland in September 1862, culminating in the bloody Battle of Antietam. Lincoln then issued the Emancipation Proclamation, declaring freedom for slaves in Confederate states.
The Little Ice Age
The Little Ice Age was a period from 1300 to the 19th century when global temperatures were several degrees colder than normal for five centuries. This caused famines, diseases like plague, and revolutions as societies were disrupted. Scientists believe it was caused by decreased sun radiation and large amounts of volcanic eruptions releasing sulfur in the atmosphere. The cold disrupted ocean currents as well. Effects included widespread famine, disease, and persecution like burning "witches" in Germany during increased societal tensions. However, some important battles were won and innovations like the violin occurred during this time as well.
