FRtR Outlines American History (1994) Chapter Eight A Nation of Nations (6/6) An Outline of American History (1994) Chapter Eight A Nation of Nations (6/6) Previous Page No country's history has been more closely bound to immigration than that of the United States. During the first 15 years of the 20th century alone, over 13 million people came to the United States, many passing through Ellis Island, the federal immigration center that opened in New York harbor in 1892. Though no longer in service, Ellis Island reopened in 1992 as a monument to the millions who crossed America's threshold there. The first official census in 1790 numbered Americans at 3,929,214. Approximately half of the population of the original 13 states were of English origin; the rest were Scots-Irish, German, Dutch, French, Swedish, Welsh and Finnish. These white Europeans were mostly Protestants. A fifth of the population was enslaved Africans. From early on, Americans viewed immigrants as a cheap source of labor. As a result, few official restrictions were placed upon immigration into the United States until the 1920s. As more and more immigrants arrived, however, some Americans became fearful that their culture was threatened. The Founding Fathers, especially Thomas Jefferson, were ambivalent over whether or not the United States ought to welcome arrivals from every corner of the globe. The author of America's Declaration of Independence, Jefferson wondered whether democracy could ever rest safely in the hands of men from countries that revered monarchs or replaced royalty with mob rule. However, few supported closing the gates to newcomers in a country desperate for labor.

Irish Emigrants About to Set Sail for America from Liverpool, c. 1847 His 270: Immigration and Ethnicity in American History, 1815 to the present Spring 1999 Dr. McClymer (Fuller 104, ext. 7278) Description: We will pay special attention this semester to the ways specific groups defined and pursued opportunity in nineteenth and twentieth-century America. We will look at the factors in various "old countries" which impelled some to emigrate (so-called "push" factors) and at those features of the United States which made it an attractive destination (so-called "pull" factors). We will look at the newcomers' reception; their efforts to develop ways of becoming, and being accepted as, "American"; their rivalries with so-called Old Stock Americans, and with each other. Where feasible we will draw upon materials dealing with Worcester, Massachusetts to explore these themes. Format: Class meetings will be conducted as WORKSHOPS. Students will work together on the course materials. These will include such items as census records, city directories, books and pamphlets, photographs, letters, diaries, newspapers, church records, maps, atlases, tax and property records, and data on family living standards. Some of these materials will be posted or otherwise linked to the course website, others will either be distributed in class or be available in the History Department Secretary's office. There will be a charge to offset the costs of reproduction. All participants in the course, including the instructor, are students.

As a warning, I have put up pictures of the book covers to give you somewhat an idea of the style of each book (I know, I know. "Don't judge a book by its cover") so the pages may load slowly, depending on the speed of your internet connection.

The results are successful. There is attention to Jewish involvement in the American Revolution, the Civil War, trade unionism, and the civil rights movement. Chapters on the Jewish life cycle and holidays are informative, and the changing roles of men and women are described. Although tradition is taken as the norm, the perspectives of Conservative, Reform, and Reconstructionist Judaism are acknowledged. Chapters on folktales, cooking, and crafts express cultural flavor. A section on music, theater, and dance deals with both religious and secular aspects of the arts. Biographical sections are scattered throughout the text. The catalog format makes the volume accessible; illustrations include black-and-white photos and drawings.

Immigration When they first arrived in the United States, Asian (usually Chinese) immigrants were welcomed, or at least tolerated. After the California gold rush brought thousands of Chinese to California, however, Asian immigrants faced restrictive laws and occasional violence. In the late 1800s Chinese, and eventually other Asians, were excluded from citizenship . These laws were repealed during World War II , followed by further immigration-law changes, making it easier for Asians to enter the United States. Today, Asian immigrants have a high rate of assimilation and participation in the American mosaic. Gold Rush Boom The Chinese were the first Asians to arrive in large numbers. By the 1830s Chinese were selling goods in New York City and toiling in Hawaiian sugarcane fields. Gold was discovered in California in 1848, eventually attracting thousands of Chinese miners and contract laborers. In 1850, just

The history of Asians in the U.S. is the history of dreams, hard work, prejudice, discrimination, persistence, and triumph. MANILLA VILLAGE, USA As presented in the excellent PBS documentary series Ancestors in the Americas , the first Asians to come to the western hemisphere were Chinese Filipinos who settled in Mexico. Eventually, Filipino sailors were the first to settle in the U.S. around 1750 in what would later be Louisiana. Later around 1840, to make up for the shortage of slaves from Africa, the British and Spanish brought over slaves or "coolies" from China, India, and the Philippines to islands in the Caribbean, Peru, Ecuador, and other countries in South America. However, the first large-scale immigration of Asians into the U.S. didn't happen until 1848. Around that time and as you may remember from your history classes, gold was discovered in America. Lured by tales and dreams of making it rich on "Gold Mountain" (which became the Chinese nickname for California), The Gold Rush was one of the

Find out about the History of Immigration class trip to New York City. COURSE DESCRIPTION All Americans are immigrants or the descendants of immigrants, including those we call "native" Americans and those who did not come to this continent willingly. This course, covering 400 years, will constitute an exploration of the processes involved in the transplantation of people of a wide variety of ethnic and geographic origins to the area that became known as the United States of America. The course also deals with the adaptive strategies of various ethnic groups in the new environment. A sub-discipline of social history, immigration history has its own theoretical structure, a set of interpretations students will become familiar with in the early weeks of the course and be able to apply to their study of varying waves of immigration. Although the course touches on the experiences of all immigrant groups, major foci will be Irish immigration of the mid-nineteenth century, eastern and southern European immigration of the turn of the twentieth century, and Asian and Hispanic immigration of the post-Vietnam War period. All students enrolled in AH522A are invited to participate in a related course, which is a field trip to historical immigration sites in New York City. (AH522D). Because the field trip involves extra expense for students, it has been listed as a separate course, and is in no way required for successful completion of AH522A, History of Immigration.
