The Cold War BeginsTechnology and Industrial GrowthThe Cold War Begins Section 1 The New Immigrants Terms and People “new” immigrant – Southern and Eastern European immigrant who arrived in the United States in a great wave between 1880 and 1920 steerage – third-class accommodations on a steamship, which were usually overcrowded and dirty Ellis Island – island in New York Harbor that served as an immigration station for millions of immigrants arriving to the United States Angel Island – immigrant processing station that opened in San Francisco Bay in 1910

The Cold War BeginsTechnology and Industrial GrowthThe Cold War Begins Section 1 The New Immigrants Terms and People (continued) Americanization – belief that assimilating immigrants into American society would make them more loyal citizens “melting pot” – society in which people of different nationalities assimilate to form one culture nativism – belief that native-born white Americans are superior to newcomers Chinese Exclusion Act – 1882 law that prohibited immigration by Chinese laborers

The Cold War BeginsTechnology and Industrial GrowthThe Cold War Begins Section 1 The New Immigrants Why did immigrants come to the United States, and what impact did they have upon society? Immigrants came to the U.S. for religious and political freedom, for economic opportunities, and to escape wars. Immigrants adopted parts of American culture, and Americans adopted parts of immigrant cultures.

The Cold War BeginsTechnology and Industrial GrowthThe Cold War Begins Section 1 The New Immigrants The foreign-born population of the U.S. nearly doubled between 1870 and In the 1840s and 1950s, German and Irish Catholics had immigrated to the United States. Despite differences, their children were often able to blend into American society. But starting in 1870, some people feared ”new” immigrants would destroy American culture.

The Cold War BeginsTechnology and Industrial GrowthThe Cold War Begins Section 1 The New Immigrants Old Immigrants and “New” Immigrants Old Immigrants (pre-1870s) Were mainly Protestants from Northern and Western Europe Came as families to settle on farms with family members or friends Had money, a skill or trade, or an education “New” Immigrants (post-1870s) Were mainly Catholics or Jews from Southern and Eastern Europe Sometimes came alone, usually to settle in cities Were often poor and unskilled

The Cold War BeginsTechnology and Industrial GrowthThe Cold War Begins Section 1 The New Immigrants Immigrants to the United States from Southern and Eastern Europe made up 70 percent of all immigrants after 1900, up from 1 percent at midcentury.

The Cold War BeginsTechnology and Industrial GrowthThe Cold War Begins Section 1 The New Immigrants Push factors for immigration are those that push people from their homes, while pull factors are those that attract them to a new place. Push FactorsPull Factors Farmers were pressured by land reform and low prices. The U.S. offered plentiful land, employment, and opportunity. Revolution and war disrupted economies and left political refugees. Many “chain immigrants” already had family in the U.S. Religious persecution forced many to flee violence. Immigrants could find religious and political freedom in America.

The Cold War BeginsTechnology and Industrial GrowthThe Cold War Begins Section 1 The New Immigrants Coming to America was often a tough decision. Immigrants usually brought only what they could carry and traveled by steamship in steerage.

The Cold War BeginsTechnology and Industrial GrowthThe Cold War Begins Section 1 The New Immigrants There, officers conducted legal and medical inspections. Only 2 percent were denied entry into the U.S. When the immigrants arrived after their long journeys, they were processed at stations such as Ellis Island in New York Harbor. Chinese and other Asian immigrants crossing the Pacific were processed at Angel Island in San Francisco Bay. Many Chinese were turned away.

The Cold War BeginsTechnology and Industrial GrowthThe Cold War Begins Section 1 The New Immigrants Some Chinese immigrants were detained at Angel Island for weeks or months in poor conditions. They waited to see if they would be allowed to stay in the U.S.

The Cold War BeginsTechnology and Industrial GrowthThe Cold War Begins Section 1 The New Immigrants Large cities such as New York and Chicago had huge immigrant populations by Once in America, immigrants had to find a home and work. They also had to learn English and new customs. Many stayed in cities and took jobs in factories. They lived in ethnic neighborhoods called ghettoes.

The Cold War BeginsTechnology and Industrial GrowthThe Cold War Begins Section 1 The New Immigrants Immigrants had some help coping with their new surroundings. Settlement houses ran Americanization programs to help recent immigrants learn English and adopt American dress and diet. Immigrants formed fraternal associations – based on ethnic or religious identity – which provided social services and financial assistance.

The Cold War BeginsTechnology and Industrial GrowthThe Cold War Begins Section 1 The New Immigrants Many believed that American society was a “melting pot” where white people of different nationalities blended to create a single culture. This model excluded Asian immigrants, who became targets of social and legal discrimination.

The Cold War BeginsTechnology and Industrial GrowthThe Cold War Begins Section 1 The New Immigrants Immigrants’ children, however, became more Americanized. They established their own fraternal lodges, schools, and religious institutions such as churches. Despite the hopes of settlement workers, immigrants often held on to their traditions.

The Cold War BeginsTechnology and Industrial GrowthThe Cold War Begins Section 1 The New Immigrants Immigrants often dealt with nativism and hostility from native- born white Americans. Religious differences and competition for jobs and housing led to divisions and prejudices.

The Cold War BeginsTechnology and Industrial GrowthThe Cold War Begins Section 1 The New Immigrants In 1882, Congress started to restrict immigration to the United States. The Chinese Exclusion Act prohibited immigration by Chinese laborers, limited the rights of Chinese immigrants in the U.S., and forbade the naturalization of Chinese residents. Congress passed another law that prohibited the immigration of anyone who was a criminal, immoral, a pauper, or likely to need public assistance.

The Cold War BeginsTechnology and Industrial GrowthThe Cold War Begins Section 1 The New Immigrants Immigrants transformed American society. They fueled industrial growth. They helped build the railroads and worked in factories, mills, and mines. Their traditions became part of American culture. Increasingly, they became active in labor unions and politics, and they demanded reforms.
