In the north, New England was settled, and in the south, the Chesapeake settlements were formed. The settlements were both dealing with some of the same issues, but they were handling them in different ways.

Rosa is from northern Italy and is coming to America to join her husband Santino who works in Missouri as an iron miner. She reluctantly leaves behind her young son, but is curious about American life. Her journey to America, her move to Chicago, and her job at the settlement all revealed changes that occurred in Rosa. Her story was successful, not based on the amount of money she made, but in being able to establish a good life for herself in America where she had her freedom. When Rosa first
