Rise of Cities Between 1830-1860 Urban population of the US grew by 552% 1830- 1.1 million 1860 6.2 million Cities grow because of Immigration Rural to urban migration- people leave the farm due to decreased opportunity- mechanization of agriculture, more opportunity in cities

Emma Lazarus- Poet “Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed, to me: I lift my lamp beside the golden door.”

Immigration Push Factors Pull Factors Factors that pushed immigrants out of their native lands to America: Poverty- Lack of Economic Opportunity Political Repression - No freedom Ethnic conflict- War- conscription No jobs No hope of a future Famine/ starvation/drought Pull Factors Factors that pulled immigrants out of their native lands to America: Economic Opportunity Jobs/ workers were needed Land $ A future of land ownership Peace and stability Freedom to make a better life

Early Immigration Irish Potato Famine 1846-1851 August 1845 the Irish potato crop was blighted or stricken with a disease. The disease ruined the main source of nutrition for the population. Famine, starvation, and disease killed much of the population. While the poor of Ireland starved British land owners and merchants made money. 1845- 25 million bushels if grain was shipped out. 1846-50 3 million live animals were exported 1847 1.3 million gallons of grain derived alcohol was exported. 1845-1860 the population of Ireland was reduced by 1/3. 1845 population = 8.2 million 1860- Pop = 5.8 million 1920- Pop = 4.2 million 1 million died from starvation and disease. 2 million left to America 1860-1926 4 million more went to the US.

How did/do people react to immigrants coming to America? Whenever a new group enters into an established community tension is caused and a pattern of development can be seen.

Xenophobia- anti foreigner attitudes Nativism- The idea of blaming immigrants for problems. Established groups blamed the new groups for problems: Taking Jobs, Lazy -Famous Slogan: “No Irish Need Apply” People said they were responsible for: Crime Immorality- alcohol abuse Catholics- not loyal to America

City life for Immigrants The “New” group usually congregates together and forms an almost isolated community and institutions in the giant and growing cities of America. The Irish came together in great neighborhoods and sections of all Eastern Cities. They formed their own political groups and parties. They used their large numbers to build powerful political groups that dominated some large Cities and industries in those cities. Example: Police and Firemen in New York, Boston, Chicago, Philadelphia. They set up: Churches, Hospitals, Welfare Organizations, Schools, Social Clubs, Political Organizations They helped each other in exchange for loyalty during the voting season. Jobs, security, etc…
