In the information text, “on the trail of the Immigrants,” Edward Steiner describes the message of the article by describing the Immigrants journey at the gateway, under the huge portal of the vast hall waiting for their final judgment, said in paragraph 2. Steiner is describing not only their journey, but also the mixed emotions and feelings that are also going on, paragraph 5. Steiner describes their feelings by saying, “already a sifting process has taken place; families have been divided.” When Steiner says, “The sifting process has taken place.” The immigrants are taking that in a mean way, because you can’t sift people, so the attendants are treating…

Every slave that came to North America had to been appeared to have chains on them and were treated very badly. The slaves started to take control on the population of how many there may have been. The African immigrants were taken to increase faster in the British colonies. The North and South colonies were way different by many features. For one instance, the slavery was number one that they had focused on. Slavery took a whole different toll to where they lived at. Either on plantations or in the cities. But there was more to it.…

During the time period of the twentieth century in Europe and the Middle East there were significant changes occurring in major forced migration movements such as Muslims during the Balkan Wars and many Jews during World War II. ‘Superpower’s’ (or successful dominant European countries) citizens never migrating away from their homeland remained constant.…
A number of African Americans and Mexican Americans gradually migrated into the United States with the development of agriculture in the country. Although the reasons for their migration were different, the African Americans and Mexican Americans share similar situations as they tried to integrate into American society. The choice to migrate into the US was mainly attributed to their need to look for better opportunities, new lives, admiration and obstacles.…
“Remember, remember always , that all of us, and you and I especially, are descended from immigrants and revolutionists.” - Franklin D. Roosevelt. Immigration is a major step in the process that all nations and states must undergo. Texas had many immigrant groups located in small pockets. These immigrants ranged from Germans to Anglo Americans. Immigrants who moved to Texas from foreign nations seeked for cheap land, freedom, wealth and a better lifestyle.…
The term exodus is an emotive one. It conjures striking biblical imagery of the Israelites fleeing their ancestral lands in search of religious freedom and a distinct identity. In many ways this mirrors the plight of the African Americans in the latter half of the 19th century as well as the early 20th century, as they left the south for the north in search of opportunity and sovereignty. Arnesen’s book Black Protest and the Great Migration attempts to dissect this geographic movement of people by discussing its role in the creation of a national black identity, increased black presence in the workforce, and the formation of African-American political organizations all in the context of the first World War.…

In the 1930’s a large economic crisis struck America as the stock market crash. The stock market crash threw the world into a depression, but it largely impacted America and Germany the most. The people during that time called it the Great Depression, and has been known as such ever since. During the Great Depression, millions of people lost their jobs, causing emotions of shame, guilt, and anger especially among the white male community. The minority groups that also lost their jobs became the scapegoat that majority groups could direct these emotions. Hispanics and African Americans were often accused of stealing jobs and welfare to the point where drastic actions were taken. Among those drastic actions…
*Nevertheless, the number of repatriates was minuscule compared to those who returned to Mexico during the Great Depression. With the deterioration of the United States economy after 1929, between 400,000 and 500,000 Mexicans and their American-born children returned to Mexico. More than half of these departed from Texas. (The term Mexican is used in this article to refer to all Mexican-heritage repatriates, although a significant number of them were Mexican Americans since they had been born in Texas. For Mexican Americans, the term repatriate is actually inaccurate, for one cannot be repatriated to a foreign country.) Depression-era Mexican repatriation from Texas began in 1929, gained momentum in 1930, and peaked in 1931. In the last quarter of 1931 repatriation reached massive proportions; the roads leading to the Texas-Mexico border became congested with returning repatriates. Mexican border towns were also crowded as thousands of returning Mexicans awaited transportation to the interior of Mexico. The number of repatriates declined in 1932 and again in 1933. During the middle years of the depression - 1934 to 1938 - only occasional…

Job openings were sharecroppers, farm laborers and tenants ( I’ll explain what these are later on in the essay). The great migration lasted till 1970 at least and was during WWI.…
The United States has not always been the way it is today. The many events and time periods that have occurred throughout history have changed the way the country has evolved and continues to be evolved. The most important aspect that has changed the Americas is the immigration of people from around the world. Immigrants did not just come from one location, they came from many countries such as Spain like Alonso Ortiz, France like Marie, and London like Elizabeth Spriggs, all three of who immigrated to the Americas for a reason.…
The Great Migration was a period in history when there was a massive relocation of blacks from the South to the North. These people were driven from their homes due to the lack of work available and poor treatment. They headed north and first filled the positions of those who had gone to fight in the World War, filling mainly industrial jobs, many of them in the steel industry. Migrants headed for cities like New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, and St. Louis to find better opportunities for themselves and their families.…
