IMMIGRATION TO AMERICA: AN INTRODUCTION LISA CHAPMAN DACUSVILLE MIDDLE SCHOOL ED 195-FURMAN UNIVERSITY

FOUR MAJOR WAVES OF IMMIGRATION The first major wave took place from the 1600’s through the time of the American Revolution. What do you know about this time period in American history?

SECOND AND THIRD WAVES This is the time period that we will focus on in our unit of study. Second wave to 1870 Third wave- Mid-1800’s to 1920’s

FOURTH WAVE Began around Why did immigration decrease between the 1920’s until 1965? What factors led to this most recent wave of immigration?

During the time period following the Civil War until the early 20 th century, approximately 25 million people came to America from other countries.

REASONS FOR COMING TO AMERICA VARIED. Push factors: Pull factors:

Until fairly recently, most immigrants came to America on ships. Since many were poor, they had to travel in the steerage part of the ship. Click on the link to see a picture of the steerage part of a ship. steerage What was steerage like?

After traveling for weeks by ship, immigrants to America had to be processed. On the east coast, Ellis Island was the most common place to arrive. Picture from Library of Congress, Prints and Photographs Division, Detroit Publishing Company Collection.

On the west coast, Angel Island was a place where immigrants arrived to America from Asia. Click on the link to see a picture of Angel Island in California.Angel Island

When approaching Ellis Island, immigrants could see the Statue of Liberty in New York Harbor. How do you think the immigrants felt when they saw this symbol of America? Picture from the Library of Congress, Prints and Photographs Division, Detroit Publishing Company Collection.

Immigrants faced many obstacles upon their arrival to America. Click here to view an old video of immigrants arriving at Ellis Island. immigrants arriving at Ellis Island. Click here to view an old video of immigrants landing at Ellis Island. immigrants landing at Ellis Island.

Immigrants had to undergo screening before they were free to leave the arrival station. The most feared part of the screening process was the medical inspections.

Once they were admitted into the US, immigrants faced hardships and challenges. As we study this unit on immigration, we will learn about the challenges faced by these newcomers to American soil-many of whom were our ancestors! We may just discover ourselves in the people we meet.
