The Emigrants

In Ireland, the Great Irish Famine was a time period of mass starvation, disease and emigration that was historically dated from 1845 to 1851. This tragedy left a permanent impact in history to Ireland. I believe that the Irish should be appreciative that British North America is willing to assist them through this rough time period because of the poor circumstances back in their home country, they provided them a place to live a better life, and the people in British North America were accepting

According to Catherine E. Shoichet, “12 million unlawful migrants right now live in the United States, which is around proportionate to the populaces of Illinois, Pennsylvania, Ohio, or Michigan”. Evacuating each of the 12 million unlawful foreigners, at that point, would resemble expelling one of the above states, an entirely cynical task. In functional terms, it isn't conceivable to send that much migrants back to their separate nations economically and productively. This raises the question of

ports of Canada, quarantine shelters that were prepared for emigrants became so overcrowded that military tents outside shelters were used temporarily. The tents were often floored with wooden boards and patients were supplied with cots. These tents provided adequately during fine weather, but provided insufficient protection when it was cold and damp. Gradually, as more emigrants arrived, even the tents became overcrowded and emigrants were forced to sleep without shelter on bare ground with no

long-term labor contracts, to pay off the debt they picked up when they wanted to come to the American colonies. The primary source, “Gottlieb Mittelberger on the Trade in Indentured Servants” is written by Mittelberger himself in 1750, who was an emigrant that arrived in British North America as an indentured servant. In this source, he explains the negatives of coming to British North America; the ups and downs he faced, for instance: the long and horrible voyage conditions, and the sale of human

won land as seen in Document F. Women also moved out of the domestic sphere and helped with the hard labor, necessary to make a farm run correctly. The success of the emigrants largely depended on the cooperation of the climate and the how well the land was cultivated during those first crucial years. Success for the emigrants on the mining frontier largely depended on the abundance of the land's natural resource, like gold. The land basically determined if the settlers were at all successful

and other natural markings, water was scarce, and unpredictable weather changes often made life on the frontier difficult. Emigrants were often ignorant of the climate and made the voyage anyway, as seen in document C. The journey west was made by wagon. Food shortages and disease often plagued the emigrants. Also the unpredictable climate cause more hardships. The emigrants chose areas that they thought had the best land. The settlements were concentrated mostly along the coast because the middle

largest number of emigrants in the world, which is a rather interesting statistic to note. With an increased population we may perhaps see their emigrant numbers rise as well. Additionally these migrants typically tend to be of working age. Though not explicitly stated, seeing this type of information, I would not be surprised to see India, and other additional lesser developed nations have this a factor, that plays into economic buffering, and slower rates of growth. With large emigrant numbers, especially

The Story.In September 11, 1857 was the date that Mormons and Paiutes killed 120 emigrants at Mountain Meadows, Utah.The Mormons killed all those emigrants because the emigrants started committing minor depredations against Mormons fields, abusing the local Paiutes indians, and taunting the Mormons with the reminders of how the Missourians had attacked and chased them out of Missouri during the 1830s.Then after that some Mormon guerillas decided to get revenge on the emigrants.The Mormons cooperated

of Americans who made the trip to Oregon never had encountered a Native American tribe and most believed they were hostile and vicious people which was far from the truth. Most encounters with Native Americans were just business encounters. The emigrants offered clothes tobacco or rifles and the Natives offered food and horses. Some violent encounters between these two groups of people were the Bear River Massacre and the Grattan Massacre. According to(2) the Grattan Massacre happened over a cow
