Immigration
Immigration to the
United States from 1789
to 1930 made the U.S.
what it is today.
Considered the melting
pot of the world, the U.S.
incurred immigration
from many countries
around the world,
especially from Europe.
Many
immigrants
came as whole
families.
Others came
one at a time
and sent for
other family
members
as they could
afford it.
Immigration began in force in the late 1700’s / early 1800’s.
Scotch-Irish were some of the first immigrants to settle in
the new United States. These immigrants settled west of
the Appalachian Mountains in an area known as “the back
country”. They settled in this area to take advantage of
farming opportunities. Since then, the Irish have been one
of the top immigrating groups to our country.
Below is a picture of Irish immigrants in the early
1900’s.
Swedish immigrants began arriving in the United States
during the early and middle 1800’s. These immigrants
brought with them skilled trades, such as carpentry and
furniture-making. Swedish workers would make a major
impact on woodworking and other construction skills for
years to come.
Eastern and southern European immigrants began arriving in
the United States in the middle 1800’s and early 1900’s.
Italians became one of the first southern European immigrant
groups to migrate to the United States. The skills and
expertise they brought with them included stone-masonry,
which can be seen today in the numerous churches across the
eastern and middle United States.
Here is a picture of
Italian immigrants
arriving at Ellis Island
in the early 1900’s.
German immigrants originally came to the United
States to take advantage of the abundance of land and
the opportunity to farm, both in food crops and dairy
products. They also contributed to scientific research
and technological advances.
