During each wave of immigration into the United States‚ immigrants have faced many different injustices. Each successive wave of immigrants‚ however‚ discovered a better America. Immigrants in the second (Pre-Civil War) and the third wave (1880-1920) faced an America that focused on “Americanizing” them.

The vibrations push and pull on air molecules. The pushes cause a local compression of the air (increase in pressure)‚ and the pulls cause a local rarefaction of the air (decrease in pressure). Since the air molecules are already in constant motion‚ the compressions and rarefactions starting at the original source are rapidly transmitted through
