Immigrants in the steerage comming to the United States.
Homestead Act of 1862
Immigration in the 1800s
Since I just move to life back in the 1800, I realize that since the nation got good economy, new inventions and tons of jobs for everybody, it had consequence, immigration. All the people around the world knew that America was the new world with new opportunities, good lifestyle, free lands, new jobs, etc. Many people came across the ocean in steerage. With the bug grow of immigration and discrimination between 1865-1920, it made people to life with their ethnic groups. However immigrants made good attribution to the country like the construction of the rail road, factories grow, and cheap hand work.

Immigrants came for different reasons. Many of them were the free benefit from the government such as Homestead Act, religion freedoms, education, economic problems, etc. I met people that came traveling in steerage,a large open area beneath the ship's deck. The conditions for immigrants in steerage were bad for example, limited toilet facilities, no privacy, and poor food. However immigrants couldn't do anything because of the cheap tickets. I think immigrants were the most suffered because of abuses and frauds. I hear New York was getting allot of people from around the world and was getting dangerous, also I met a woman named Luciana from Italy and she toll me that she was going to take a connection in train to go North because of to many immigrants in NY.
Immigrants felt the discrimination from Americans and decided to live in ghettos.Ghettos are urban neighborhoods of the same ethnic group of people. I have visited the ghettos a few times to check to see if the people were right about their living conditions. I think every religion or culture is different but they seem to feel comfortable living amongst their own ethnic groups.
After all, immigrants help the nation. Many businesses were helped by the cheap labor and hard workers. Because of the hard work of the Chinese immigrants, the railroads were able to lay thousands of miles of track at minimum cost. However because of the massive amount of Chinese workers the Americans were concern about the impact on wages. The Chinese were working in many fields. The Americans were feeling frustrated and felt their needed to be a limit on immigrations on Chinese. Americans pressured their politicians to find a solution. They created the "Chinese Exclusion Act" in 1882. This Act bared Chinese laborers from entering the country. In my opinion, this was a really extream
.
Immigration was a big issue in the 1800 for many people. However they atributed a great deal to what is America today. I met immigrants that came in different ways, for different reasons, decided to live in ghettos, and work in different factories or other class of jobs.
