All that would slowly start to change after Lincoln issued the emancipation proclamation in 1863. Or did it? Even after the emancipation proclamation and the 13th Amendment blacks were still considered to be nothing but a slave and they did not deserve to be considered equal to whites. They were set free with nothing no money, no shelter, and most of them had no family due to being split up during the slave trading process.

What if everything was still determined by your skin color or religion? We would still have diverse bathrooms, churches, and shopping centers. And what if someone wanted to change the way you lived the moment they met you? In the seventeenth century women were depicted by their skin color, household duties, religion, and the women’s way of living.

Immigration in America has changed a lot over the years. Back in the Plymouth plantation time sailors had trouble traveling because of seasickness and very high winds. In one ship a large group of sailors sets sail for Holland for a religious free place that would be in what they now call New England. After they had fair winds and weather for a season, they encountered some dangerous storms and winds that the ship crudely shake. The ship had some troubles from the winds and waves of water crashing onto the ship but made it through just fine.

Immigrants who were poor and unskilled traveled to America for a better way of life. Many came from countries such as Italy and Germany to flee persecution, pursue religious freedom and the economic opportunities that the United States offered. During the wave of new immigrants arriving in America leading up to the turn of the 20th Century, most settled in large cities where they hoped to find employment and a better life compared to their native lands. However, due to a number of factors, this new life in America was not very pleasant. Many found that simply working hard to better the lives of their families was not enough. When they came to America, they arrived without much money, property or friends. They first had to find a place

In “A History of Foreign Labor,” historian Ulrich Herbert diligently examines the role of temporary migrants in fueling the German war effort in WW2, and the inner mechanisms that effected both the life of these immigrants, as well as the Nazis ability to combat the Allied powers. Moreover, Herbert illuminates how the conservative social policy and focus on ethnic purity employed by the nazis, often stood in diametric opposition to their economic and foreign policy - making internal wartime decisions more convoluted then necessary. Balancing fears of the potential ideological or security threats foreign workers could pose to German hegemony within the borders of Third Reich, the Nazis enacted official migration ordinances in order to host foreign

The United States is an epicenter of opportunity, and gives everyone the chance to chase their dreams and become successful. This opportunity for men and women to pursue their own definition of happiness is what has attracted so many to immigrate; and it’s these immigrants that have built America. People have come from every corner of the globe to find this “city upon a hill” and ‘“light among nations,” and the largest group among them: the Germans. German immigrants and those who have descended from them have aided in laying the foundation on which this country was established, by instilling principles and culture derived from German heritage, and participating in aspects of American society that have, and continue to influence those all across

Immigration. Personally, I know little about its history except that immigration has existed since the beginning of humankind. However, what I do understand is that people make an important decision for their lives and the lives of their families. The decision – to change their current situation such as facing poverty, crime, or escaping government persecution. Individuals or group migrate for the negative and the positive reasons with the intentions to settle down permanently in a foreign country.

The history of Immigration has been around since the 19th century, in between the 1880’s and 1920. From only between that time line our population has increased substantially. The U.S is the most common country to migrate to, making the U.S multicultural. There are immigrants who may have an issue within their country or economy, leading them to another country for their own sake. Other immigrants may also be migrating to other countries to escape poverty and better their wealth or life. Immigrants are able to spread their culture and could also help the country industrialize with their ideas or have a better understanding of the culture. Therefore ur country wouldn’t have any of these ideas without the spread of ideas and even today

As an international student, every year I must go and get my visa from the U.S embassy in Nassau. It is required of me, and without my visa, I wouldn't be able to attend school the upcoming year, or perhaps even travel to the United States. The process is a hard one, sometimes taking several days and leaving many waiting for hours and even weeks only to be decline, and due to recent political events, that process has only gotten worst. For international students, how we are viewed at times, and the growing problem of immigration and how that affects our goals of education is an increasing social problem that needs to be addressed immediately.

As an adult if I were forced to leave the United States of America and live in another country I would have to choose Germany. The reasons I would move to Germany would have to mainly do with my future career choices. In Germany they have a problem with their immigrant population and are always looking for ways to expand it, seen as how accepting they are of oversee college students from around the world. As it is, their most appealing part of going to Germany is their free college classes. Not only do they offer free classes in German but as time goes on more and more classes are being offered in English and there are many opportunities to take free classes to help people learn their language. If I can succeed in graduating in the higher percentages of my classes and am bilingual by then I have a good chance of getting a teaching job there. An average salary for all levels of teachers is $64,200 per year and can increase if you get a promotion or work for a private school.
