Summary: The Nature Of Western Migration

First of all, the Plains Indian were great travelers that roam free throughout the lands and were great fighters who used guerilla tactics. With time, came the genocide of the of the buffalo, this was because the Americans would just kill them for sport and leave the meat to rot. Another issue that came was the creation of reservation. As you know the plain Indians were always free to roam the land and all of the sudden the Americans tried to restrict them to one place, which could not have happened since the Indians hatted farming. In addition, you cannot forget the creations of boarding school which were founded by Francis Pratt. At the schools they tried to persuade the American way of life such as religion, clothing, and language. If a Indian spoke their native language they beaten for not

The change in transportation led to social changes as well. Due to the construction of railroads in the urban areas there was more settlement in places where transportation was available such as New York. Due to the increase in transportation, white plantation owners increased their need for slave labor on the cotton farms as well as stricter slave code policies were increased in the South. Due to the advanced railroad system Americans are able to move westward very easily. All the migrants were in search for a new life and quick riches. In 1848-1855 Americans moved west because of the California Gold Rush. The gold rush attracted Chinese migrants to the western United States. Some migrants planned to take advantage of the public lands that the federal government was selling in order to

In the mid-1800s, many Americans began to move westward, with a variety of motivations. Farmers were drawn west by all of the fertile, open land in the west, offered to them cheap by the Homestead Act. The California Gold Rush was another reason many moved west. Gold was discovered in California, and miners flocked there, hoping to strike it rich. Additionally, cattle ranchers were attracted to the west because their beef cattle thrived on the abundant grasses and open range of the Great Plains. Later on, newly built railroads, including the first transcontinental railroad, made transportation of people and goods west much more feasible, and opened the West to rapid settlement (History Alive). Although Westward Expansion was a time of full

In the late 19th century, the American people began to go west. Americans began to pour into the West because of rapid population growth and affordable land (Importance of the West). They were also promised wide open land and to be free of Indians (Importance of the West). The West was in fact not free of Indians, and there were several wars that ensued in Arkansas, Montana, Washington, and California (Youngs).

The Great Migration was a massive movement of African Americans from the South to the North from 1863 to 1960. The largest spike in this migration occurred from about 1910 to 1920.

The migration of European settlers and culture to North America is an often examined area. One aspect of this, however, is worthy of deeper analysis. The conquest of North America by Europeans and American settlers from the 16th to 19th centuries had a profound effect on the indigenous political landscape by defining a new relationship dynamic between natives and settlers, by upsetting existing native political, economic and military structures, and by establishing a paradigm where the indigenous peoples felt they had to resist the European and American incursions. The engaging and brilliant works of Andres Rensendez and Steve Inskeep, entitled respectively “A Land So Strange” and “Jacksonland”, provide excellent insights and aide to this analysis.

Thomas Jefferson believed that expanding westward was the key to a healthy nation. Forty percent of the population lived in trans -Appalachian west. Most people had left their homes from the East for a economic opportunity.

Many people moved out west during the 1865’s through 1896 due to the mining frontier. Colonel George discovered gold on the Sioux land. The discover of gold attracted majority of the white population and wealth towards the west. Although the motivation for moving out west was significant, there were obstacles in the way towards getting west. Families who wanted to go west usually got the worst land because land-grabbing promoters and corporations stole most of the good land and families were financially set back due to the droughts out west.

Long ago on the great plains, the buffalo roamed and the Native Americans lived amongst each other. They were able to move freely across the lands until the white men came and concentrated them into certain areas. Today there are more than five-hundred different tribes with different beliefs and history. Native Americans still face problems about the horrific history they went through and today 's discrimination. The removal of American Indian tribes is one of the most tragic events in American history. There are many treaties that have been signed by American representatives and people of Indian tribes that guaranteed peace and the values of the Indian territories. The treaties were to assure that fur trade would continue without interruption. The American people wanting Indian land has led to violent conflict between the two. Succeeding treaties usually forced the tribes to give up their land to the United States government. There were laws made for Native American Displacement that didn’t benefit the Native Americans, these laws still have long lasting effects on them today, and there was a huge number of Native Americans killed for many reasons.

The majority of migrations shown are from an LDC (low developed country) to an MDC (more developed country) or also known as a core region. Migrations of this kind are so the individual is given a better opportunity with more advanced technology and higher levels of productivity in diverse economies. A viewer can see that four of the twenty migration patterns provided are to the United States. The United States is a more developed country and has better possibilities at obtaining a good job and providing decent health care. A viewer can also see that the migrations for the most part go from a smaller country to a bigger country in size.

Globalization has changed the structure of labour markets in the last decade causing increased migration and labour migration globally. Labour migration, to work successfully for the employer and desperate employee, demands flexibly. This flexible work demanded by employers of employees is seasonal and low skill in which the quote ‘white male’ does not want, therefore migrant workers are needed for the task. This is because migrant workers fit the flexible model needed by employers, according to Fridell and Konings, not because they are naive and ignorant to their rights as workers but because both parties, higher cooperation, and migrant workers, believe in the stigma of little money is better than no money (Fridell and Konings, 2013.) and are venerable to exploitation, lower wages, and no rights. Pointed out by Rivoli the employees the ‘floaters’ (Rivoli, 2015) the demand put workers contradict when they arrive at the job as when they get there they have no flexibility “the works show up to the city with hope…. migrants are denied rights to adequate health care…. leaving them particularly vulnerable, enabling the employers to deny their rights with impunity” (Rivoli, 2015). Often migrants are given the image of the epitome of freedom and choice, yet the opposite is true.

Behind the populist veneer of Brexit, the vote to dismantle political and financial relations with the EU was, in reality, an opposition to the free movement of economic migrants within the United Kingdom. Despite the strong assertions of the Leave campaign, there is still much ambiguity concerning the future economic consequences of the exit, particularly regarding domestic migration policy. Though a stricter EU migration policy will undoubtedly develop in the wake of Brexit (as this was the crucial ideological reason for the exit), the UK’s potential corollary integration into the European Economic Area could render antecedent EU policy mostly unchanged. However, despite this reassurance, a number of immigration law academics and interlocutors have expressed concern regarding citizenship rights for UK nationals in extralocal EU residence. Though their prospects have been speculated, the determination of their resultant citizenship status will be contingent on the ongoing international negotiations. This correspondingly relates to resident EU nationals in the UK. Nonetheless, it is clear that Brexit, has ‘fundamentally changed [...] the basis on which EU citizens may enter and reside in the UK’, and is rife with economic ‘[...] complexities, opacities, and uncertainties…’ This uncertainty further relates to the prospect of additional exit campaigns developing throughout Europe. A short-term “chain-reaction”

Migration has been the force of change for many European countries throughout history. It has been and continues to be vital in the shaping of European countries’ economies, policies and it’s cultures. The author of this paper tackles the matters of migration, minorities and the issues of migration research that have occurred over time. Throughout the article the author poses arguments on the issues of migration research and possible solutions for more coherent research outcomes. Considering the values of the European Union (the respect for human rights and the rights of minorities), it was very challenging for me to apprehend the stereotypes, biases and difficulties that come hand in hand with European migration research.
