The primary territories they emigrated from were Italy and Germany. These nations shared similar problems that resulted in their citizens to travel to America. The “new” immigrants left their home countries due to religious conflict, political differences, absence of jobs, and yearning of money. Thus, they fled their nation to obtain a happy-go-lucky life instead of a dreadful one. Settlers went to the United States to work and make revenue. With the money they received, they can mail it to their home country to financially assist their families. As “new” immigrants came into the country, they dealt with mixed reactions from Americans. Some U.S. citizens accepted the new settlers by equipping them with jobs. Nativists, however, were apathetic and anxious of them. They saw them as visitors, so they paid no attention to them. Americans also felt petrified of them because they did not want to lose their jobs to them. Even though they left everything behind to get an improved life, migrants made America diverse. Without the “new” immigrants, the United States would not be as accepting towards newcomers as they are
