As the country became established, immigration was encouraged and even advertised. There were few restrictions on who can enter and where they could live.

This was the basis of many early

The years following the Civil War and Reconstruction was an era somewhat gilded. The Second Industrial Revolution came about with new inventions, and revolutionized how factories and jobs were worked. Factory workers in this time period were working in poor conditions and had no power whatsoever. Often they were abused and their wages were cut very low. The mass immigration also did not favor laborers as it made them so easy to replace. In order to fight back laborers would join labor unions in order to protest; however, during this time the labor unions were not that affective during 1875 and 1900 because although they had their efforts many of them would not work to their advantage; efforts would give them a bad reputation, go out of

However, the Great War also meant that the US would change dramatically through historical issues and changes which resulted in American society.

In 1898, the Americans won the Spanish American War, and signed the Treaty of Paris, which ceded both Cuba and the Philippines, among others, to the US for the sum of 20 million dollars. The two countries, which are both islands, have a tropical climate almost all-year round. They were both part of the Spanish empire for almost 400 years. Both Cuba and the Philippines have the natural resources nickel, cobalt, timber, salt, copper, and petroleum.

However, this influx of migrants led to the spread of social and political controversy between the American natives and working immigrants. Therefore, immigration into America caused extreme tension between social groups and was very detrimental to the American society.

Immigrants of all kind come to the United States (US) in the eighteenth and nineteenth century. The U.S. was a strong magnet for immigrants, giving them opportunities to start farming or urban employment. There was a worldwide financial collapse enhanced the speed of immigration to the U.S. Between the years 1845 to 1854 there was a great invasion of immigrants in U.S. history (Tindall, Shi, 2013).

The immigration and migration of people has contributed to the American Identity and changed american history in three distinct periods. These periods included the pre-civil war period, civil war/industrialization era, and the 20th century. Each of these periods had a significant impact on american history in both positive and troubling ways.

In the nineteenth century, an influx of new immigrants came to America. A majority of these new immigrants came from southern and eastern Europe, as opposed to the northwestern Europeans who came in abundance before them. Between 1820 and 1920, less immigrants with northwestern European origins were coming to America and an increase of immigrants from southeastern Europe, countries in North America, Asia, and Latin America. The new immigrants from Ireland and Scandinavia were different from the previous groups of immigrants. They were not Protestant, and they had different migration patterns. The new group of immigrants had a completely new experience in coming to America than previous groups. A new cultural identity was created and with a new demographic of citizens, the United States would move into a new era of growth.
