The Emigrants

The fact that they want religion to be the top priority instead of gathering living needs was astonishing. If supposedly a person from the south wrote these documents, the role of the church would be miniscule. In document B, the Ship’s list of Emigrants Bound for New England, the people are organized by importance. At the top of the list, they have a minister, as well as his family. The fact that they were bringing in their families clearly states that they are not staying here for just a…

Thousands welcomed, others turned away: Refugee Crisis in the EU As many nations in Europe embrace to maintain its role in aiding refugees, others are against the idea of welcoming them. From plans to promote open hands to these emigrants to riots demoting the acceptance, a true refugee crisis has emerged. As each day passes, Germany and the EU takes action and opens its borders to migrants all around, whereas, in Poland, Pope Francis urges his followers to accept and welcome the refugees but…

How can hospitality be expected by a guest who barges in and demands to take control? If hospitality is present in such situations, it will prove to be destructive. Similarly, when European explorers entered the New World, they discovered Native Americans, who had already been living in the Americas for several centuries. Undoubtedly, these indigenous people’s lifestyles were influenced by the climate, resources, and geography of this land. As the European explorers began to settle in the New…

Mexico and Unite States’ government should pay for the proposed wall, because both countries have taken benefits from illegal’s emigrants crossing the board. During the years “1845-1848” the United States and Mexico settled a negotiation of nearly one million square lands that Mexico sold to the United States for the amount of $15 million. Since the negotiation between the two countries the conflicts are incessant, regarding the immigration issues because the Mexicans never stopped to cross the…

beware his fellow citizens of migrating to the land of the free. A couple of questions come to mind when thinking of how “the German schoolmaster Gottlieb Mittelberger travelled to America with four hundred other emigrants.” (Source 1) Did he know that he would be boarding among so many emigrants? Had he anticipated such dreadful conditions that were present throughout the entire voyage prior to setting sail? Here stands a man anxiously awaiting to embark on his new chapter of life and this…

dealt with. The Irish emigrants were forced to leave their home by the British and landlord oppression. The Irish threw “American Wakes” for the ones that were forced to leave. The American wake symbolized the “death” of an immigrant. The wake usually took place in the emigrants home surrounded by family and loved ones from nightfall to the early next morning. By the late 19th century it was custom for the emigrant to visit his/her priest’s house. The priest would give the emigrant his blessing,…

The reason why immigration does not benefit America is because the local governments that must provide educational and health care for them and their children are taxed (Connelly 174). Most emigrants come, because the country supplies them with better lives and more opportunity. Last be not least, emigrants force religion and culture onto others, by terrorizing them to become their spirituality. They want more people to become their religion and culture so that they can have more power.…

when they came, and their individuality/teamwork. The Chesapeake region was occupied mainly by single men, while New England had families. The list of emigrants bound for New England is detailed, with the age of the passenger and their relationship with another person on board, with a decent amount of women (Doc. B). However, the list of emigrants bound for Virginia only has the person’s name and age, with less than twenty women on board (Doc. C). As a result, New England became very…

done nothing” (360). Since killing their own is not enough, the Republic attempts to purge France of those with even the mildest of ties to the aristocracy; they condemn all returning emigrants, including Darnay. As one of the men accompanying Charles to Paris explains: “there will be [decrees] banishing all emigrants and condemning all to death who return” (254). Worsening the condition of the judicial system is the sinister intent behind this twisting of laws. When Madame Defarge rhetorically…

by running aground on Anticosti Island in the mouth of the St. Lawrence River in the fall of 1828. One wonders if the Moores and their new ship mates knew this! Even though it was considered a second class ship and hence a ‘better class’ than many emigrant ships, it would be having a major overhaul the year after the Moores sailed on it. Luckily for everyone on board, the crossing was uneventful and Airthry Castle the entered the mouth of the St. Lawrence River and headed for Anticosti Island…
