Immigration
The document provides background information on European immigration to the United States between 1865 and 1915. It discusses the push and pull factors that drove immigration, including economic difficulties and opportunities in Europe and America. It describes the journey across the Atlantic, the arrival and inspection process at Ellis Island, and the living and working conditions immigrants faced after settling in urban ethnic enclaves in the US. Students are instructed to take on the role of a European immigrant and blog about their experiences leaving their homeland, the transatlantic journey, arrival in America, and initial living and working conditions from their perspective.
Ellis Island and Angel Island Experience
Immigrants came to the United States in the late 19th and early 20th centuries due to push factors like poverty, hunger, and religious persecution in Europe, as well as pull factors promising opportunity and jobs. They faced difficult journeys and conditions upon arrival, with third class passengers facing disease and hunger on ships. At Ellis Island, immigrants underwent health inspections with some denied entry. While many settled in urban areas and relied on ethnic communities for support, nativism grew alongside new immigrant populations, leading to discriminatory laws and quotas reducing immigration. Asian immigrants especially faced racism and exclusion acts.
Immigration in the United States
Ellis Island and Angel Island were two major immigration processing centers in the United States that had both similarities and differences. Europeans primarily immigrated through Ellis Island in New York, where the process typically took a few hours to a day and involved physical exams and citizenship tests. In contrast, Angel Island in California processed thousands of Chinese immigrants under the Chinese Exclusion Act, and some detainees had to wait weeks or years to prove family ties before being allowed to enter or deported. Both islands gave health screenings and assessed immigrants' knowledge of American ideals before permitting entry to the country.

By the mid-19th century, native-born Americans began to view immigrants as threats who were taking jobs. This led to the formation of the anti-immigrant Know-Nothing party and the government began supporting nativists and clustering immigrants into slums. During the 1880s, increased immigration prompted the government to pass laws excluding certain immigrants from entering the country in response to public hostility towards immigrants.

History of immigration
Immigrants came to the US in large waves from the early 1800s through the early 1900s. The first wave from 1815-1860 was mainly from northwestern Europe, including the Irish fleeing the potato famine. Later waves brought more southern and eastern Europeans. They came for economic opportunities and religious freedom, and worked in farms, factories, and mines. While they faced discrimination, immigrants maintained cultural traditions that influenced American culture over time.
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.
New immigrants for students
New immigrants from Southern and Eastern Europe arrived in large numbers between 1870-WWI, settling primarily in urban areas. They faced both push factors like poverty, war, and religious persecution abroad, as well as pull factors in America like inexpensive western farmland and job opportunities in mining, railroads, and factories. Upon arrival, immigrants underwent health inspections at ports like Ellis Island and Angel Island before assimilating into American society, often through ethnic neighborhoods and cultural institutions in cities, though many also faced hostility from nativists. Overall, immigration greatly transformed and strengthened America's economy and workforce.

Despite this, immigrants still found opportunities in America through work, education, voting rights, and owning businesses.
Chapter 7 immigration review sections 1 3 [autosaved]
This document summarizes key points about immigration to the United States in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Large numbers of immigrants arrived from Europe, Asia, the Caribbean, and Mexico seeking economic opportunities and escaping difficult conditions. They faced challenges integrating into American society due to language barriers, anti-immigrant sentiment, and restrictions imposed by new laws. The document provides details on immigrant experiences, including processing at Ellis Island and Angel Island, living in ethnic communities, and restrictions such as the Chinese Exclusion Act. Students are assigned a creative writing activity imagining their journey as an immigrant leaving their homeland.
Immigration and Urbanization
Political machines like Tammany Hall provided social services and jobs to immigrants in cities in exchange for votes, leading to corruption. Boss Tweed and the "Tweed Ring" controlled Tammany Hall and embezzled millions, leading to reforms like the Pendleton Civil Service Act to establish merit-based government hiring. Most late 1800s/early 1900s presidents pushed reforms, with the exceptions of Grant and Taft who maintained the status quo.
Immigration to the united states
Between 1880 and 1910, millions of immigrants came to the United States seeking opportunities and fleeing hardships. Push factors in their home countries included famine in Ireland and crop failures and unrest in Europe and Mexico. Pull factors attracting them to America were land offered through the Homestead Act, abundant factory jobs, and freedoms like religious liberty. Immigrants faced difficult transatlantic journeys and were often housed in poor conditions below ship decks. Upon arrival, they underwent medical and legal inspections at Ellis Island before dispersing to cities, where many lived in ethnic enclaves to maintain their traditions as they assimilated to American culture. However, nativism and discrimination against new immigrants remained problems.
The new immigrants
Millions of immigrants came to the United States in the late 19th and early 20th centuries seeking economic opportunity and religious freedom. Between 1870 and 1920, approximately 20 million Europeans arrived primarily on the east coast to escape difficulties in their homelands. Smaller numbers of Chinese and Japanese immigrants also arrived, many working on railroads or in farming. While some Americans welcomed the contributions of immigrants, others feared their differing cultures and religions would threaten American identity, leading to restrictive immigration laws like the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882.
US History Ch. 5 Section 1 Notes

Great Depression
The Great Depression of the 1930s was caused by a stock market crash in 1929 and subsequent bank failures and business closures that led to mass unemployment across the United States. Rural areas were especially hard hit, with families losing their farms and homes during the Dust Bowl droughts and dust storms that ravaged the plains. Millions were left homeless and unemployed, living in shanty towns, while minorities faced discrimination with African Americans and Mexican Americans disproportionately impacted.
