Impact of industrialization:
While society had new machines to reduce the amount of work there were some problems. Working conditions were harsh and sometimes dangerous. Cities grew, but poverty developed in them as more people lived in cities than there were jobs. Works fought for better rights.

Impact of industrialization:
Some children also were forced to work in factories with little pay or rights. Blue collar jobs – wages, little education White collar jobs – salary, high school education, and experience. Farms still increased. Rise of goods, shopping, and woman in the work force (paid less than men).

Immigration: During the 1890s, new immigrants began to come to the United States: Greeks, Slavs, Armenians, and Jews from various countries and settled in the Northeast, dominated by Irish and Italians, and the Midwest, dominated by Germans. The West also experienced an influx of European immigrants; it mostly attracted immigrants from China. Often poor, immigrants lived in dirty, crowded conditions and worked unskilled jobs in potentially dangerous factories. More than 500,000 injuries to workers were reported each year in the 1880s and 1890s.

Where Did Immigrants Live?
Tenements Housing: Small four- or five-story buildings with few windows, limited plumbing and electricity, and tiny rooms often packed with people, mostly blacks and immigrants. Tenements were the main housing available in slums and ghettos, the segregated communities into which blacks and immigrants were forced by poverty, prejudice, even law. These ghettos had disease, high infant mortality, and horrific levels of pollution.
10
Nativism White, native born citizens (Americans in our case) that wanted to protect the nation by eliminating all immigrants. The KKK is an example of a nativist group.

Americanization Movement
Events in which immigrants were forced to give up their identity to support only American ideals. We are going to read more about this right now!

Immigration Restriction
1882 Chinese Exclusion Act: Banned Chinese from entering the United States for ten years. Gentleman's Agreement: Banned the Japanese from entering the United States (and deported those who were already here). Immigration Restriction League: a group that tried to make more laws separating immigrants from society.
