When I decided to enroll for this course, I actually expected to watch various movies in terms of Italy, like Italian cultures, history, politics and so on, which helps me gain knowledge about Italian country. However, I was pretty astonished that this course is somehow heavy and serious, which is totally different from what I expected. Therefore, at the beginning of the class, I was quite lost because I personally have no knowledge about Italian society, so it was hard for me and felt the topic was too deep for the very first class.

Around 1830 larger numbers of immigrants began coming to the US. At first there weren’t lots of people coming each year. Soon, as outside countries began to take on hardships, people began to immigrate in higher numbers than before. When a mass amounts of immigrants started to get noticed was around 1850, when the Chinese Immigration Economic Opportunity was big (Doc. 1). Later numbers began to rise and fall.
The United States has had two main eras in immigration and these two eras drew migrants from different regions. Select the correct eras and regions.
Between 1860-1900 almost 14 million people came to America.Another 14.5 million came between 1900 and 1915.Even more significant than the increased in numbers was the changing character of immigration during these years.
One thing that contributed to the rise of America was the large amounts of immigrants pouring into this country. During the 1880 's to the 1920 's, America saw its greatest arrival of immigrants in history. Counts upwards of 25 million showed people arriving here mostly from Eastern and Southern Europe. At this time, more immigrants, and different nationalities of immigrants, were traveling to America than to any other country. As the majority of them sailed across
The Great Migration of African Americans from the rural South to the urban North began as a trickle after the Civil War and became a flood by the second decade of the twentieth century. About 1.75 million black people left the South between 1910 and 1940, which resulted in the population of blacks outside the South doubling by 1940. Three main push factors that influenced the migration of African Americans were pushed from their rural homes, wanted better job opportunities, and wanted to escape the injustice in the judicial system.
The “great migration” is a historical movement of approximately 1.3 million African Americans from the Southern to the Northern United States from 1910 to 1930, settling primarily in large industrialized
Many Italians made the United States their home, but getting to the Land of the Free was not easy for them. Many things made the Italians move from their country, and many things brought them to the United States. They faced many hardships while in the country. They all managed to find work in different areas, and in different time periods. They also left important legacies.
From 1815 to 1850, five million Europeans immigrated to the United States, and three of those five million arrived within just a decade from 1845-1854. This was the largest immigration America had seen compared to its total population. Most of the immigrants were either Irish or German, but they all had one thing in common: they wanted better lives for their families. In their home countries, they often experienced religious persecution or had little economic opportunity. Many heard the exaggerated stories of the abundant American farmland and widespread freedom, making them more eager to settle there.
Little migration was happening, but four decades later immigration increased rapidly. Many from Britain, Ireland, and Germany moved to America
As the first day of man began, there has been immigration of man throughout this great country of America. Many immigrants came for a better way of life for themselves as well as their family. Some stayed where others went back to their nation of origin, yet they all made an impact on us today as Americans.
There have been several major waves of immigration throughout the history of the United States. The first dated from 1783 to the early 1800s. Between 1820 and 1870, there was a rapid increase in the number of immigrants who came from northern and Western Europe. "About 7.5 million arrive, mainly from northern and western Europe (especially Great Britain, Ireland and western Germany)." (American Immigration Timeline)
Starting around 1890, some 25 million immigrants from Southern and Eastern Europe poured into the United States. These immigrants are known as the “new immigrants,” which was the third and largest immigration wave from Europe. Unlike the old, the new immigrants were mostly Jewish and Catholic, and very few understood English or even had experience in the working city life. One specific group of the new immigrants, were the Italian immigrants. There was approximately five million Italians immigrants that came to America between 1890 and 1920, which made the Italians the largest ethnic group of the “new immigrants” to immigrate.
One major turning point during this period of American history was the significant changes happening in the American population. Reconstruction was over; the country began its attempts at a stoic integration. Yet during this period, numerous American blacks migrated around the country. Many moved into urban areas on the coast and the Midwest. African American flourished for the first time out from under formalized, institutional slavery and the Harlem Renaissance ensued during this period. In addition to the migration of American blacks, during this period, millions of people immigrated into the United States of America, many of whom entered the country via Ellis Island in New York City. Over five million people from all over the world, but with particular concentrations from Europe and Asia, moved into the country and changed the demographics of the country in ways that are evident in the 21st century.
In the years 1910-1970 our country saw one of the largest population shifts in history. More than 6 million African Americans trying to escape segregation laws and poor economic opportunities fled the South in hopes of finding a better way of life in the North, Midwest, and West. This would later been called The Great Migration.
U.S. as an immigration country, has a long history of immigration. It is a complex demographic phenomenon that has been a major source of population growth and cultural change of the United States. People came here because of varies reason, the major reason among them are fleeing crop failure, land and job shortage, rising taxes, and famine. Nearly 12 million people immigrate to the United States between 1870 and 1900, making it the world largest immigrate country.
