Curtis Gilmore · Answer 1

The correct answer is A) Arrived from southern, central, and eastern Europe

Explanation:

As a young country, the United States did not have a formal immigration policy in the 18th century. However, as more and more immigrants were coming or a better life, the government developed a number of immigration polices to control who can come to the country.

A number of policies and global incidents meant that while the first immigrants to the US came from England and Ireland, the new wave of immigration post 1880 came from Southern, Central and Eastern Europe.

The impact can still be seen today with a large Italian population in New York, a large of Jewish, Ukrainians and even Russians who are not fourth or fifth generation Americans.
