European Immigrants: From Migration To Minnesota?

Northerners- British who migrated to the US settled in Virginia and Maryland and they came in as indentured servants. After the independence, their migration the US slow because America didn’t approve of their government. When Scotland suffered a severe economic depression in 1921, about 1.5 million Scots migrated to the US and many were professional and skills laborers. Many Scotch-Irish migrated to the US in the 18th century due to economic depression brought on by textile slump in Ireland. many also migrated due to religious freedom and farming. It is estimated that about 1 billion people from Francs migrated to the US religious persecution and economic opportunity.

The History of Immigration is the topic I have chosen for the New Jersey History Project. As our study of the Colonial Period shows, Dutch, Swedish, and British settlers were some of the earliest foreigners to arrive in New Jersey. They brought with them their culture and beliefs, which had influence over how the colony would eventually develop. Over the years that followed and right up until today, people from all over the world choose to make New Jersey their home, their presents contributing to the state’s rich cultural diversity. A couple of questions I am hoping to answer during my research are, “Why pick New Jersey?”, and “How has immigration impacted the state?”.

Yes, Late Nineteenth-Century Immigrants were “Uprooted”. They were uprooted physically and culturally. The immigrants came to America for a better life, since they had a rough time economically and politically in their own homeland. When they got here they had to get used to a whole new place with a different language, religion, culture and even different government. There were a lot of industries here, but all paid very small wage and a lot of the American citizens didn’t want them, they wanted a higher wage instead. The immigrants came in and took all jobs, even the ones that paid little wage. All these immigrants came from different backgrounds, therefore, getting used to American traditions was very hard for them. Some could not even continue

It seems that the word Immigration has took on a new meaning as for it once meant. Immigration is the action of coming to live permanently in a foreign country. It has always been a hot topic in our society because of all the controversy behind it, About whose land is actually theirs. It all starts in 1620, when the mayflower for the first time in history touches american soil, And changes the way history would unfold and the very way we live today. They came from England, searching for vast freedom from a corrupt, indigenous society seeking freedom of religion and the thought, ironically searching for the American dream before it became a phrase. They would stumble across humble , spiritual, and land loving givers who would eventually train these new pilgrims on how to live off the good god living land. Things would soon take a turn for the worst when disputes over land came abroad, this ended in a bloody battle leaving the pilgrims victorious with their new land. But history is always prone to repetitiveness once the 1700's came.

The 1840s and 50s experienced a massive escalation in the number of immigrants from Europe especially from Ireland, and Germany, arriving on U.S shores in densely populated urban areas (Arenson, 2011). Most of them afterward became vigorous in domestic politics, much to the aggravation of old-stock, authentic Americans. The consequence was a renaissance in the formation of “nativistic” societies (small, indistinct, anti-foreign and anti-catholic organizations), some which banded together in the early 1850s to form the American Party (Arenson, 2011). Commonly referred to as the “Know-Nothing,” the party rode a wave of racial intolerance as well as racism into the mid-1850s.

Wisconsin is a state located in America between the Great Lake and the Mississippi river which was first explored for France by Jean Nicolet in 1634 and landed at green Bay. In 1660, a French trading post and Roman Catholic mission were established near present day Ashland. “Generally, we think of Wisconsin as a pioneer in American mining frontier which include copper, iron ore, lead, and zinc and also have so many developments even though farming is their basic source of leaving” (Nesbit 1989). Wisconsin entrepreneur used the state’s waterways and water ports for transporting goods to market elsewhere (other states) since it is the leading state and popularly known for the production of dairy products such as milk and cheese. Also, Wisconsin

Immigration through out the late 1800’s and early 1900’s created nativism throughout the United States. Millions of immigrants flocked to the United States trying to find a better way of life to be able to support their families. Industrialization in the United States provided a labor source for the immigrants. Native born Americans believed immigrants were a “threat to the American way of life” (ATF chapter 11) Social and economic fault lines developed between natives and immigrants, through out the late 1800’s and early 1900’s, going unnoticed until the late 1920’s when the Sacco and Vanzetti case brought awareness of issue to much of the United States.

New immigrants to the United States seized the chance to own land in their new country. Immigrants who wished to claim property had to first file intentions to become American citizens. Some states and territories even advertise in other countries, hoping to attract more people. Earlier immigrants encouraged their countrymen to homestead, describing life on the plains and officering advice, which resulted in people from all over Europe migrating to the west. So many Swedish and Norwegian immigrants arrived in Minnesota during the late 1860s that an editor of the St Paul Pioneer remarked: “It seems as if the Scandinavian Kingdoms were being emptied into the state” (Porterfield 31-3). Immigrants often settled in separate ethnic communities,

The slightest action or movement by the government or the people can alter a nation’s economy drastically. In the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, the United States of America was, most assuredly, in need of a positive economic agent. This agent became a geographical expansion to the West. Unquestionably, the settlers’ means of excelling production, efficient distribution, innovative services, and rich resources in the West were incorporated in the enhancement of the economy countrywide.

The golden age of Greece is the most known city during this time period was the rivals of Athens and Sparta and the question is why were Sparta and Athens rivals? it’s the strengths of the two societies that brings the ancient world to its heights in art, two of the Greeks states was a thirst for more territory and power. Jealousy brings about the Peloponnesian wars that lasted 30 years and left Sparta and Athens mere shadows of their former selves. In the 8th century with the writing of the works of Homer, the Iliad an ethnic identity for the Greeks. The differences between Athens and Sparta was that Spartans was founded by Lycurgus around 800 BC that was a militaristic society and they were controlled by Peloponnese, the primary rivals of

Day in and day out many immigrants enter the United States of America in search of greener pastures. This greener pasture includes higher educational prospects and lucrative jobs. However, life usually does not turn out as many of them usually anticipate. The expectation they usually have prior to their entry to the United States is partly due to the all rosary and nice things they hear about America. They hear such nice things from the media and also from diaspora’s who return from America to their homeland who usually don’t share their entire experiences with them. There have been quite a number of reports and research findings that outline the various challenges that are faced by immigrants in America. I personally share some of these issues as an international student in a foreign country. Prior to coming to Metropolitan State University, I had colleagues who told me about the school and their excellent environments that facilitate learning. Also other friends who were in America made me aware of the opportunity to work alongside schooling which made me more interested as I needed financial aid. With all these palatable information in mind, I did apply for the school and even though the tuition fee was quite expensive considering my socio economic background, I did apply having the mindset of working to meet up certain financial needs. Upon arrival in America, I realized that I was given a fraction of the entire picture. I wasn't allowed to work outside of campus,

My parents Immigrated from Poland to the United States in search for better opportunity for the children that they planned to have. When my parents finally made the move, they started with nothing and no one to turn to; they did not even know how to speak English. All my parents knew for sure was that they were going to raise three children in America and do all they could possibly do to motivate and make them passionate for school. My parents have always wanted their children to achieve the careers of their dreams and be able to support their own family as well as be happy with their lives. My parents have struggled with money their entire lives, which is another reason why they did all they could to get to America and motivate their children for schooling. They did not want their children to struggle with money the way that they did. But this led another issue, affording college. My parents did not have enough money for their children to attend college. Because of this, I have done my best in school to earn outstanding grades and do my best to earn scholarships.

For my Mystery Shop, I chose Blue Chip Cookie. Later on you’ll know more about why I chose this place and what happened. As you could guess Blue Chip Cookies is primarily focused on selling cookies, I had never been to Blue Chip Cookies before but I wanted to see what it had to offer. Sometimes smaller business put more effort into pleasing their customers and the quality of their product rather than just focusing on how much money they could earn. In this report you’ll read about my “Mystery Shop”, a project where you evaluate the customer service of a particular business.

I interview my father who arrive to the united states from Mexico The major problem that motive my father to migrate to the U.S.A were as he mention on pages (1-2) was an economically problem has he said since he was a child he grew up in a farm with his parents and brothers and sisters and had many struggles since the only one that work was his father. My grandfather did all he could to give him an education and a better life that he had that’s the same idea he view for me when he become a father he was young and money was like the priority to care for the necessary that a child has, but to get money you need to have a job. With salary he earned at my grandfather farm he knew was not enough to support himself and a child and he could

To address transparency issues, adequate transparency within government must be ensured; and transparency and accountability should be promoted within democratic governance. Florida leads the country in providing public access to government meetings and records. Florida State leaders believe in the notion that government should be held accountable to the citizens. U.S. Supreme Court Justice Louis D. Brandeis wrote, in his 1932 article called “What Publicity Can Do” that, “Sunlight is said to be the best of disinfectants; electric light the most efficient policeman.” (Brandeis, 1914) Government transparency means placing all financial and public information online in an easy to use, readily understandable system. A transparent system is important, because it allows taxpayers to see clearly how public servants are spending tax money, and it also gives citizens the ability to hold their elected officials accountable.
