Transformation of Urban America Chapter 19 AP US History

What led to the rise of urban America?

Push/Pull Factors PUSH: Revolution Pogroms Massacres Persecution Famine Low Wages Land

Push/Pull Factors PULL Jobs – women and men looking for work Modern Transportation Wages – lure of economic opportunities Land Shelter Social Opportunities/Social Mobility Freedom Safety

QUESTION? Does America have a duty to keep its doors open to the world? Is continued economic growth in America dependent upon immigrant labor? Who is to be held responsible for the increase in illegal immigration?

Changing Face of Immigration 1815 – 1860 –10 million Northern European Immigrants 3 million Germans 2 million English, Scottish, and Welsh 1.5 Irish –18 million “ new immigrants ” Peasants from Southern and Eastern Europe

Why did these immigrants come to the United States? Overpopulation Rapid Industrialization America – “ Land of Opportunity ” –“ Give me your tired, your wretched/ Your huddled masses yearning to breath free/ The wretched refuse of your teeming shore, Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!" Crop failure/Famine Persecution of minorities in Europe Make money and return home (25%)
