22. HIS 270: IMMIGRATION AND ETHNICITY IN AMERICAN HISTORY, 1815 TO THE PRESENT His 270 immigration and Ethnicity in american history, 1815 to the present history abounds in irony. Chinese immigration began shortly after the Irish. http://www.assumption.edu/users/McClymer/his270/

His 270: Immigration and Ethnicity in American History, 1815 to the present Fall 2005 Dr. McClymer (Founders 112, 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 ("pull" factors). We will also look at the newcomers' receptions; their efforts to develop ways of becoming, and being accepted as, "American"; their rivalries with so-called Old Stock Americans — and with each other. (At right is a portrait of a young Jewish immigrant from Russia taken at Ellis Island in the 1906 by Lewis Hine. You will have a chance to work with some of his other images later in the semester.) Since ethnic identities and racial identities overlapped in American culture, we will pay particular attention to events where these identities came most clearly into focus. For this reason we will start the course with the 1863 Draft Riots in New York City, during which thousands of poor whites, most of them Irish immigrants, attacked African Americans as part of their protest against the most recent draft levies. Much of our focus will be upon conflict and rivalries. But we will also look at the successes both of ethnic and racial groups in creating meaningful lives for themselves and at the successes of the so-called host society in absording so many diverse peoples.

FRtR Outlines American History (1994) Chapter Nine Tension over Immigration (6/8) An Outline of American History (1994) Chapter Nine Tension over Immigration (6/8) Previous Page Next Page Restriction of foreign immigration during the 1920s marked a significant change in U.S. policy. Immigration had soared in the late 19th century and peaked in the early 20th century. Between 1900 and 1915, for example, more than 13 million people came to the United States, with the preponderance from Southern and Eastern Europe. Many of these people were Jewish or Catholic, a fact that alarmed many older Americans who were predominately Anglo-Saxon and Protestant. Some resented the newcomers because they competed for low-wage jobs, others because the new immigrants maintained Old World customs, often lived in urban ethnic enclaves, and seemed to resist assimilation into the larger American culture. As a result of this immigrant surge after World War I, nativist appeals intensified. A reorganized Ku Klux Klan emerged calling for "100-percent Americanism." Unlike the Klan of Reconstruction, the new Klan restricted its membership to native-born white Protestants, and campaigned against Catholics, Jews and immigrants as well as African Americans. By redefining its enemies, the Klan broadened its appeal to parts of the North and Midwest, and for a time, its membership swelled. Anti-immigration sentiment was codified in a series of measures, culminating in the Immigration Quota Law of 1924 and a 1929 act. These laws limited the annual number of immigrants to 150,000, to be distributed among peoples of various nationalities in proportion to the number of their compatriots already in the United States in 1920. One result of these restrictions was to reduce the appeal of nativist organizations; the Great Depression of the 1930s also caused a sharp drop in immigration.

Asian American From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. An Asian American can be generally defined as a person of Asian ancestry or origin who was born in or is an immigrant to the United States The term "Asian American" is credited to the historian Yuji Ichioka who, in the late , used it to describe members of a new pan-ethnic radical political identity who shared common histories, experiences, and goals. In the United States, this term has widely supplanted the term " oriental " which was popularly used before the to describe East Asian peoples regardless of nationality, upbringing, or origin. Some have argued "oriental" is politically loaded and referenced a colonial "other" (see orientalism "Asian American", like " Hispanic American ", can not be defined as a similar group of people sharing similar cultures or physical features. For example, Indian Americans Filipino Americans , and Japanese Americans are very different from each other in both culture and physical features. Like the term "Hispanic American", saying that a person is "Asian" is not specifically referring to a certain lifetyle or culture and could refer to a wide range of different Asian ethnic sub-groups. Additionally, although the term "Asian" in the United States is most popularly used as a term to group peoples with physical characteristics resembling East Asian people, Asians from the

Students at the Notre Dame School, New York, N.Y. round the turn of the twentieth century, mass immigration from eastern and southern Europe dramatically altered the population's ethnic and religious composition. Unlike earlier immigrants, who had come from Britain, Canada, Germany, Ireland, and Scandinavia, the "new immigrants" came increasingly from Hungary, Italy, Poland, and Russia. The newcomers were often Catholic or Jewish and two-thirds of them settled in cities. Background Today, Americans are highly conscious of the impact of immigration. Since 1965, when the United States eliminated quotas that restricted the number of people who could come from certain parts of the world, the face of the nation has changed visibly. The recent movement of millions of migrants to the United States has had profound political and social repercussions, spurring intense public debate over such issues as bilingual education and immigration restriction. But this influx of people is only the most recent example of a long history of immigration to the United States. In a single decade 1900 to 1910 8.8 million immigrants entered the United States.

History Click here for publications on this topic Immigration has played an important role in American history, and the United States continues to have the most open immigration policy in the world. Before the era of rapid communications and transportation, America encouraged relatively open immigration to settle its empty lands. After certain states passed immigration laws following the Civil War, the Supreme Court in 1875 declared the regulation of immigration a federal responsibility. The Immigration Service was established in 1891 to deal with the big increase in immigration which started in 1880. The outbreak of World War I reduced immigration from Europe, but mass immigration resumed upon the war's conclusion, and Congress responded with a new immigration policy: the national-origins quota system, passed in 1921 and revised in 1924. Immigration was limited by assigning each nationality a quota based on its representation in past U.S. census figures. Also in 1924, Congress created the U.S. Border Patrol within the Immigration Service. There was very little immigration over the next 20 years, with net immigration actually dropping below zero for several years during the Depression. Immigration remained relatively low during the 20 years following World War II, because the 1920s national-origins system remained in place after Congress re-codified and combined all previous immigration and naturalization law into the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952. American agriculture continued to import seasonal labor from Mexico, as they had during the war, under a 1951 formal agreement between the United States and Mexico that made the Bracero Program permanent.

from the National Humanities ... 19th Century Essay: The American Jewish Experience through the Nineteenth Century: Immigration and Acculturation Jonathan D. Sarna and Jonathan Golden Brandeis University National Humanities Center Links to online resources Works cited American Jewish history commenced in 1492 with the expulsion of Jews from Spain. This action set off a period of intense Jewish migration. Seeking to escape the clutches of the Holy Inquisition, some Jews in the sixteenth century sought refuge in the young Calvinist republic of The Netherlands. A century later, hundreds of their descendants crossed the ocean to settle in the new Dutch colony of Recife in Brazil, where Jewish communal life became possible for the first time in the New World. When Portugal recaptured this colony in 1654, its Jews scattered. Refugees spread through the Dutch Caribbean, beginning fresh Jewish communities. A boatload of about 23 Jews sailed into the remote Dutch port of New Amsterdam and requested permission to remain. This marked the beginning of Jewish communal life in North America. Colonial Jews never exceeded one tenth of one percent of the American population, yet they established patterns of Jewish communal life that persisted for generations.
