An interesting question: how long will it be before the Rats own the garden and the Man gets out? Source: Life, June 1893

Columbia’s Unwelcome Guests 1885

Think: What symbols did the artists use to represent immigrants? What does the artist’s choice of symbols tell us about the artist’s opinion or point of view about immigrants?

Cartoon artists created images that communicated very negative stereotypes about immigrant groups. They often showed immigrants to be… Lazy Dangerous Dirty Criminal Dishonest Drunk, and… Un-American, and willing to destroy American values and the American way of life.

Focus on the ACTION in this cartoon: what are the little figures doing?

Anti-Immigrant Groups The Know-Nothings (1840s) : estimated 1 million members The American Protective Association (1890s) : estimated 2-3 million members The Ku Klux Klan (before 1910 = racist, after 1910 = also anti immigrant) : estimated 4-5 million members in the 1920s
