Our group presented today, I thought we did fairly well because we answered all the questions well.
-What impact did railroads have on the US? It was easier to transport goods, it also connected our country. The railroad was built by Chinese immigrants. The railroads created time zones.
-What did the Granger's or government do to regulate the railroads?
They made prices better. The interstate congress act also helped regulate prices.
Ch. 7.1:
Why did immigrants come to the US?
To escape persecution, and to start a new better life
Where did immigrants come from?Western and northern Europe, Italy, Austria-Hungary, and Russia.
What problems/issues did immigrants face on the trip over and once they got here? Discrimination for their Religion.
Why did some people want to put restriction on immigration? What were those restrictions? They didn't want immigrants working cheaply so they had to too. They restricted the number of immigrants allowed in each year
At Ellis Island in New York they did big checks on immigrants to make sure they had no criminal record, were disease free, and were able to work.
They also did this at Angel Island.
