What was it like for immigrants in Britain?
L/o: To use different sources of information to explain how immigrants lived in Britain in the 17th and 18th century
What immigration? Think Geography! Why do people migrate to another country?
E.G. Why may people migrate to Spain?

2. Who came to Britain in the 16th and 17th century?
Jews: A large religious group which today live all around the world and have their own Jewish state of Israel. Judaism is a religion and therefore Jews will also have a nationality as well which depends on where they were born. Just like Protestants and Catholics, Hindus and Buddhists etc. Huguenots: These were French protestants who were pushed out of France in the 16th and 17th century and came to Britain because it changed to become a protestant country (under Henry VIII) Free black communities: These may have been ex slaves (something we will learn about after Christmas) or ex soldiers from the empire who had fought for the British and then come to live in Britain.
What about Spain?
During the 16th century Spain remained strictly Catholic and therefore there was very little tolerance of other religions.
A court was set up during the ‘Spanish Inquisition’ which would punish any people not following the Catholic faith.
So, this was not a great place for Jews to be and during this time a law was passed to remove all Jews from Spain if they would not agree to become Catholics.
