NOTES:
Chapter 7: immigrants came to USA because of Chaos and population growth. People were poor. Immigrants were immigrating on a push-pull factor. Louisiana purchase was a big purchase of land. Germans, British, Irish, Swedish, Danish, Chinese and other races came to the U.S. Immigrants got of ships at Ellis Island. Disease killed immigrants almost as fast as the immigrated. High pollution, disease and crime spread through cites. People didn't like all the immigrants coming to the U.S. Many immigrants got turned down and had to go back the their original country. Political machines ruled many large cities. Most of the presidents were reform presidents during this time.
