in the late 18th and early 19th century Did the industrialized economy attract a specific type of immigrant?

Question

Were attitudes toward the new immigrants similar to the attitudes that Americans had shown toward earlier immigrants? Explain

Answer 1

Britt, I think you have you time periods wrong. Are you aware that the late 18th century means the 1700s? And the late 19th century means the 1800s? There was NOT a big immigration boom at the end of the 1700s. I assume you mean the late 19th century (1800s) and early 20th century (1900s)


If that is the case, then there is a good answer. The immigrants that were drawn to America were poorly-educated, economically destitute, willing to do anything for a living, unwilling to assimilate into America culture (hence the creation of "Little Italy", "Koreatown", "Chinatown", "Little Poland", and "Spanish Harlem."

These immigrants did not come here to start their own businesses as much as they came here to work in factories and live in overcrowded slums.

Answer 2

if you do your home work and yes after the war many war torn country people had no homes, no jobs, no infrastructure. hence a mass migration by the thousands came to America. And I would say most from the UK. Germans, polish, Irish, Italians, Yugoslavians, Chinese, the list goes on.
