The Change In America

Coming To America

Immigration was caused by the difference in real wages between the country and the United States

The rate of population growth in the country 20 or 30 years before

The degree of industrialization and urbanization in the home country

The volume of previous immigrants from that country or region

And economic and political conditions in the United States.

- Where immigrants landed in the United States varied, especially in the period before the Civil War. During the colonial and early national periods, immigrants arrived not only at New York City but also at a variety of other ports, especially Philadelphia, Boston, New Orleans, and Baltimore.

The Journey

The Cause of Immigration

When the Immigrants came to the U.S

they had no where to stay, yet they did

hear about tenements.

- Between the years of 1880 and 1920

a total of 18 million Europens fled

into the United States coming from

Eastern and Southern Europe, Jermany

and Ireland

- Another quorter million from Asia and mainly

china had arrived in the United States as well

mortality was highly experienced by the individuals on board ships

Mortality was especially high among children and the elderly

In the period after the Civil War, with the change to steamships and the resulting shorter travel time and improved on-board conditions, mortality on the voyages fell, though exactly how much has not been determined.

Tenements were for new Immigrants

that had just came into America. They

were overcrowded, unsanitary, and the

least bit safe to live in.

They were about 6 stories high, with at

least 18 people crammed into one appartment

paying 10 dollars a months rent

There were only two toilets stalled on each floor and one bathtub in the kitchen of the

apartment

How were they treated?

New immigrants coming to America

were treated horribly, having to leave

loved ones, relitives and children behind

in the harsh life they had to live

When the Irish arrived in the U.S they

were put into shantytowns.

Shantytowns were made out of cardboard

and other debris

it was also a sanitation hazard

they lived where there were no streets and

when you turned there were ditches due to

heavy rain

The Irish especially were treated very poorly. Employment adds began to read "Irish need not apply"

or signs reading "no dogs or Irish allowed"

They were blamed also for outbreaks of disease

Each group of immigrants stayed

in their own circle and supported

each other

later immigrant groups were

treated the same way as the irish immigrants in the 1800's

The Change in America

The Change

We cant argue that immigration didn't

change America.

They brought upon us new language,

industrialization, music, food and relijion.

Immigrants had changed the economic

growth in U.S by a long shot

Along with a change in the relijious outlook

upon society

They supplied the labor source for Industrialization
