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.

3. In the late nineteenth
century, a major wave of
immigration began. Most
immigrants settled in cities,
where distinctive ethnic
neighborhood emerged.
Some Americans, however,
feared that the new
immigrants would not adapt
to American culture or might
be harmful to American
society.
4. 1. Immigrants from Europe came to
the US from many reasons and
entered the country through Ellis
Island.
2. Asian immigrants arrived on the
West Coast, where they settled
mainly in cities
3. Economic concerns and religious
and ethnic prejudice led some
Americans to push for laws
restricting immigration.
immigration =
1.The action of coming to live permanently in a foreign country.
2. A government department dealing with applications from foreign
citizens who wish to live in a particular country.
5. Between the Civil War (1865) and the World War I (1914), 25
million Europeans immigrated to the US. More than half of all
immigrants in the US were from eastern and southern Europe.
This period is known as “new” immigration. The “old”
immigration was before year 1890 and the immigrants were
mostly from northern and western Europe. Immigrants were
mostly men. Almost everyone came in hope to find a job, or
better job, or because of high food prices, or to escape religious
persecution.
6. Often very difficult
Steerage = the cheapest accommodations on a steamship
Usually after 14-day journey, the passengers disembarked at Ellis Island, a tiny
island in New York Harbor. There was building serving as the processing center
for many of the immigrants from Europe.
Most immigrants came through Almost all immigrants settled in cities
Ellis Island By the 1890s, immigrants made up a
Usually they spent there just one large percentage of the population of
day major cities

Ellis Island York City, “colored to designate

inspection, was sent back to Europe Some of the ethnic groups:
Italian, Jewish, Catholic, Greece, etc.
They learned English pretty fast
7. In the mid-1800s, China’s population reached about 430 million,
and there wasn’t enough jobs for everyone. Chinese immigrants
settled mainly in west cities, where they often worked as laborers
or servant or skilled trades. Because native-born Americans kept
them out of many businesses, some Chinese people opened their
own businesses there. The biggest number of immigrants from
Japanese grew between 1900 and 1910. In January 1910
California opened a house on Angel Island for Asian immigrants.
The immigrants from Asia were mostly young people.
8. The wave of immigrants led to increased
feelings of nativism. In the late 1800s, anti-
immigrant feelings focused mainly on
Asians, Jews, and eastern Europeans. The
reasons were religious and the fear of
having not enough jobs for native-born
Americans.
Nativism =
1. The policy of protecting the interests of
native-born or established inhabitants
against those of immigrants.
2. A return to or emphasis on traditional or
local customs, in opposition to outside
influences.
9. Founding of anti-immigrants
organizations
In 1887, Henry Bowers found the
American Protective Association.
Its members vowed not to hire or
vote for Catholics.
The Irish immigrants suffered most
from the anti-Catholic feeling.
Irish couldn’t find well-paid jobs
Enacted in 1882, the law banned
convicts, paupers, and the mentally
disabled from immigrating to the
US. The law also placed a 50¢ per
head tax on each newcomer.
10. Anti-Chinese sentiment sometimes
led to racial violence
In 1882 Congress passed the
Chinese Exclusion Act. The law
barred Chinese immigration for 10 In 1905 Theodore Roosevelt
