    Between 1865 - 1914, 25 million people immigrated to the U. S.

    1890s ½ the immigrants were from eastern and southern Europe. This was the cause of push and pull factors.

    Push factors: Religious persecution, scarce (limited) land, famine, no jobs, wars, family already left.

    Pull factors: Job opportunities, land, religious freedom, political freedom, to be with family.

    As well, in 1890s immigrant made up large portions of cities' population. Separated into ethnic groups, such as Little Italy, the Lower East Side (Jewish Quarter). The fact that they speak the same languages was also a good reason to immigrate. Newspaper access from their home country also influenced.

    In the 1800s China had severe unemployment, poverty and famine. In 1850 Taiping Rebellion caused suffering for thousands.

    The Chinese suffered severe unemployment and famine, unlike the Europeans. The Chinese often waited for weeks or months in crowded barracks before allowed into the Unites States, while the Europeans were hurried through Ellis Island.
