What other ethnic groups were here in the U.S. besides?

Question

African American during the Early 1900's? And what was the estimated percentage of those groups?

Answer 1

The Chinese have been in the U.S. since mid-19th century; so much so that in 1863, the Congress passed the Chinese Exclusion Act aimed at limiting Chinese immigration.

The Japanese immigration began in earnest about 1890, with Japanese workers arriving to farms in Hawaii and California.

In the early 1900s, immigration from Germany and Scandinavian countries subsided, but there were still places (mainly in the countryside) where you could hear German, Swedish, or Norwegian spoken. There was still a lot of immigration from poorer European countries such as Ireland, Italy, Greece, and Russia. Ukrainians and Poles immigrated from both Russia and Austria.

Jews immigrated from all over Europe and Middle East. Armenians were fleeing the Ottoman Empire.

The old bugaboo, the Mexican immigration, was alive and well, too...

Answer 2

Well, asides from Eastern Europeans (Poles, Slavs and Jews), Western Europeans (Germans, Irish, Italians); Chinese & other Asians....

Not to mention the English, French, Spanish, Mexicans, and lest we forget the Native Americans.

Answer 3

Germans, Irish, Italians, French, Mexican, Texican, Irish, Scot, English, various Indian peoples, Japanese, Chinese, etc.

Germans were the largest group.

Answer 4
