Why did Immigrants come to the United States?
I did my assigned blog #4 over why did immigrants came to the US. From 1850 through 1930 almost 5 million Germans came from Germany to the United States and most went and settled in the Midwest. After the year of 1845 a lot of Irish immigrants came to the US because of the Irish Potato Famine. During the Irish Potato Famine about a million died and anther million died decreasing the population by 20% to 25%. More than 12 Million people who came to the United States from 1892-1954 went through Ellis Island. So why people come to the US? One reason is easy, The Irish Potato Famine liked i talked about earlier. A lot of people depended on the potato income that they got so they could afford to eat and drink. Anther reason is to avoid war. One war for example is the Spain revolution in 1868. The next reason is the freedom of Religion. The United States became the First Nation to have no official state-endorsed churches. A lot of people came to the United States for wealth. Most people who came over where in debt so they came to the United States to try to escape debt.
My Thoughts: I think immigration is a huge part of American history and it is how most people came to the United States. I think without immigration there would be no United States.
