7.1. social There were many reasons as to why immigrants migrated to America. Many of the faced challenges such as drought, famine, political revolutions, war, economic struggles, and religious persecutions. Once arriving to America they continued to face hardships. They were forced to travel in the steerage part of the ship. This part of the deck was dirty, crowded, and spread diseases quickly. They had to endure such conditions to be able to arrive in America, where many weren’t treated fairly. To enter America they had to go through a series of evaluations. They had to prove that they were healthy and had to show that they have a skill or a sponsor to provide for them. They also had to go through a series of health evaluations and were sent back if they didn’t meet the guidelines. Of the two ports Ellis Island was the most welcoming port. Angel Island made it hard for Asian immigrants to enter the country. They made it so that the immigrants had to prove that they were American citizens. Some were left in horrible conditions for an extended period of time.
7.1.1. political Many immigrants had faced political revolutions and war from their home country. Many of those occurred in China and Eastern Europe which prompted them to migrate to America in an effort to escape war.

This law limited civil rights to Chinese laborers immigrants. The law also prohibited the naturalization of Chinese residents. The Chinese Act of 1882 was put into place due to the fear of jobs being taken away from Nativists.
7.1.1.1. economic Many immigrants would migrate to the U.S. due to their economic issues back in their home country. Things like political revolutions, war, drought, or famine would cause many to search for better living situations. Some immigrants were having economic struggles. As more immigrants would come to the country it made jobs and homes harder to find and afford. But at the same time homes were a lot cheaper near the city. This made it convenient for them as they would also work in the city. The new immigrants were unskilled workers and would work in factories as those jobs didn’t require a certain skill to be able to maintain it. Out of desperation for any amount of money many would work in factories with low paying wages. The factory owners would hire immigrants for long hours and pay them a little. As more immigrants would come over they would look for jobs as soon as they entered and many factory owners would be eager for their arrival. Many factory owners would hire immigrants instead of Americans as they were willing to do a lot more for a lot less. Immigrants had a major impact in the growth of the U.S. economy as well as the industrial growth. Immigrants helped bring about changes into the U.S. economy. They even were able to incorporate their techniques for easier execution of the job. Immigrants would work in coal mines, steel and textile mills and factories causing many business to bloom.
