The arrival of immigrants on American shores in the late nineteenth century involved both “push” and “pull” factors. Describe the major motives that caused emigrants to leave Europe and come to the United States during this period.
1 is basically that America wanted immigrants for jobs n stuff(pull) and because Europe was getting overcrowded and religious persecution(push)
Fear of newly arriving immigrants has been a constant in American history. With respect to the New Immigrants of the late nineteenth century, describe what the native-born Americans were concerned about. Do you think their fears were well founded? Why or why not?
2.Yeah, they were afraid that immigrants would steal white guys' jobs and have more kids than them. they were coming in quickly and having babies even quicker.
Do you think that the United States needed laws restricting immigration in the nineteenth century? List the kinds of restrictions actually imposed and state whether you agree with each restriction. Why or why not?
Basically, americans were real xenophobes in the gilded age. they protested against immigrants coming in via some organization(I forget the name) and they even excluded an entire ethnicity in 1882 with the Chinese Exclusion Act. this was really stupid, since America itself is a land of immigrants, and most "Americans" had roots in Europe.
