Irish Immigrants Fled Ireland because of potato famine in 1840s Most were very poor. Settled in cities in Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania Men worked at unskilled jobs or by building canals and railroads. Women worked as domestic servants for wealthy families.

German Immigrants Some educated Germans fled for political reasons. Most were working class and came for economic reasons. Many became farmers and lived in rural areas. In cities they had to take low-paying jobs, such as tailors, seamstresses, bricklayers, servants, clerks, and bakers. The largest settlements of Germans were in New York City, Baltimore, Cincinnati, St. Louis and Milwaukee.

Anti-Immigration Movements Many native-born Americans feared losing jobs to immigrants, who might work for lower wages. Most Americans were Protestants before the new immigration. Conflict between Protestants and newly arrived Catholic immigrants.
