= FIRST WAVE OF IMMIGRATION (1600-1880s) =

United Kingdom (England, Scotland and Wales)
Information: Question 3- Why did people LEAVE the country that you are researching? ~I choose to summarize this question because I had a lot of information on this question. I also found it to be the most easy to find out out of all of the 8 questions. Starting from the late 1500's England took great interest in the United States. Some believed that there were many new opportunities that would enhance the quality of life. Many other English left because they wanted to escape religous and political persecution and to seek employment. England had also hit a brick wall when there was a shortage of land and a huge crop failure. While some people had no choice to leave such as English convicts that were sentenced to "transportation for life" for crinimal and political offenses.

Question 1- What was taking place in the country you are researching during the time period/wave you are researching? Describe the situation in detail. ~ I choose to summarize this question because I found out that there was a lot of important dates in England that should be mentioned. Throughout 1600-1880s England went through many wars, unfair laws/ taxes, and major increasing immigration. Some wars were a Civil War with Parliament and supporters of the king (1642-1648), The American Revolution (1775-1783), the War of the Spanish Succession (1701) and the England and France War (1803). Also the War of 1812, The Crimean War (1854-1856), and the Napoleonic Wars. Not to mention during the 1700's England passes unfair taxes which drove people out of the country. Lastly, during the 18th century England was going through a Industrial Revolution.

Qusetion 5- What was daily life like for immigrants from the country you are researching? What challanges did they face? What jobs could they find? ~I chose to summarize this question because i found this question very intersting and I got a lot of good information. The challanges were very interesting to me to find out. Since the English were the first people to immigrate to the United States and had the most people to immigrate they used their same customs, clothing, language, law, literaturre, and religon. The English choose jobs such as farming/ranching, industrial jobs, tobacco planting, and some were mechanics. Yet the most popular was cattle ranching, which caused them a lot of challanges such as harsh winters that would kill all their cattle. Also early immigration caused the spreading of many diseases and some slavery. Immigrants were faced with having to work jobs that no one else wanted to work.

Ireland
Information: Question 3- Why did people LEAVE the country that you are researching? During the first wave of immigration, the Irish immigrated from Ireland to the United States to get away from the deadly potato famine, that killed hundreds of people. They also came to the United States to get religious freedom and to get away from political persecution. Ireland was under the rule of Great Britan (England) at the time, so many people just wanted to get away from their rule and be free. Some also came to the United States as indentured servents and some were convicts of the British Army (Revolutionary War- going on in the U.S.). Others came seeking any type of adventure there is for them in the United States. They also came for more free rights, especially the Caltholics. Lastly, some came for better land, a new job, and to make money so that they don't have to live in poverty anymore.
 * I chose this question because I found a lot of interesting facts ans reasons as to why the Irish left Ireland. I also, found it very interesting to learn about those things.

Question 4- Where did people from the country that you are researching settle? Why did people settle where they did? As the Irish Immigrants, immigrated to the United States, many of them settled in places along the East Coast. Some of they very popular places they settled in were New York City, New York and Boston, Massachusettes. Many also settled in Philadelphia, PA. The crime rates in these places were very high, so the Irish got many items stolen from them. Some, even settled in Maryland, around, where it is now called, Harford County. The Irish didn't travel to much because they prefered to stay close to their families and their fellow Irish-men. Lastly, some settled in Chicago and San Francisco. Most of the areas that that the Irish setted in were Industrialized cities, so it was much easier to find jobs and earn money that way.
 * I chose this question because it was interesting to find out where they settled. I also found that many Irish Immigrants settled in Maryland, Harford County, which is where part of my family lives.

Question 5- What was daily life like for the immigrants from the country that you are researching? What challenges did they face? What jobs could they find? It was difficult for Irish immigrants to find jobs because they were'nt exactly socially excepted. They were discriminated against and many Americans wanted them to leave because they were taking many of their jobs. They Irish got all of the really easy and unskilled jobs. Such as, factories, mines, mills, sewers, ditches, putting up homes, making roads, and laying down railroad tracks. The Irish immigrants pretty much took any job that they could find. Many were also laborers. Some Irish immigrants also got jobs for serving in the Military (The Revolutionary War was going on at the time). They were "forced" to live in the bad areas were crime rates were high and gangs robbed their homes. They were "forced" to live in these places because no one wanted them anywhere else or they were kicked out of all the other nicer places. Lastly, many Irish-men were poor and they lives in poverty.
 * I chose this question because I had an enormous amount of information and facts on this topic.

Question 5 What was daily life like for immigrsnts from the country you are researching? What challenges did they face?What jobs could they find? I chose this question because I had a lot of imformation on it. Irish Americans had a hard life in America. They had a hard time finding jobs because they werent really accepted by the public. Most of them had labor jobs working on railroads or in stockards. They faced a lot of poverty for their lives in America. People were very mean to them sometimes. People had signs on the doors of their buldings saying that the Irish should't apply for a job there. The Irish were blamed for most of the bad things and crimes that happened arouns where they live.

Germany
Information: Question 3. Why did people leave the country that you are researching? I chose to summarize this question because: I have enough information on this question to write a complete summary. People left Germany to go to the United States for many reasons. Some of these reasons were war, crop failures, lack of land, they wanted to be with their family again, and some were simply lured by the promise of a new and better life in America. Others were forced to leave Germany because of Religious and Political prosecution. Also, after the Napolenic wars were over, Germany's economy was suffering very badly. The redemptioner system also moved more Germans to the United States.

Question 6. What obstacles did immigrants from the country you are researching face? (Discrimination, Assimilation.) I chose to summarize this question because: I have a lot of information on this question to write a complete summary. Germans assimilated very slowly. In almost every state, there was a 'security league' or some type of volunteer vigilante group. These groups attacked anything German in their neighborhood or area. Germans were banned in a lot of public places, and in some cases, people would put yellow paint on the houses of people who spoke for the Germans and people who spoke German in general. Germans also had to find their way around a country much bigger than their homeland and didn't have as many trains or roads.

Question 8. in conclusion, include any information that you may consider to be relevant, interestion, or important about the country and wave of immigration that you are researching. I chose to summarize this question because: It's what //I// thought was interesting. By 1790, the United States population was almost 4,000,000 people! Of that number, 360,000 were either Germans or descendants of German people. Now, descendants of Germans make up 1/4 of the united States population. It's interesting to see just how many Germans there are now, after they were first treated so badly. Also, the German language is related to many different languages! Danish, Norwegian, Swedish, Dutch, Icelandic, and English.

Italy
Information: Question 5- What was daily life like for the immigrants from the country you are researching? What challenges did they face? What jobs could they find? I chose this question because i had good information on it and i thought i was a good thing for more people to know about. Italian Americans had a hard time finding jobs when they first moved to the United States. They had the most unskilled jobs and got payed the lowest wages. Most of them wanted the industrial jobs in the cities. It made it harder for most Italians to live in the United States because the couldn't read, write, or speak english at all. Italian Americans were frightened by the huge American cities because they were so used to small Italian towns and villages. Italian Americans did not have a lot of money and that is part of the reason why the moved to America. But when they came here they could only get the lowest paying jobs and that didnt help them with money much, so they were willing to work very very long hours in order to get more money. Most Italians lived with other people from their countries in towns called Little Italies.

Question 3- Why did people LEAVE the country you are researching? I chose this question because i have a lot of information on it. Most people left because there were a lot of economic problems in Italy at this time.Most peolpe left to find jobs in the industries in the cities of the U.S. Many of them didn't even have enough money to get the basics for life in Italy like food and shelter so they wanted to earn money in the U.S so they could eventually go back to Italy and afford to support their families there and most actually did that. People heard that America was a "land of great opportunity." People heard rumors that the streets of America were paved in gold. They wanted to be away from discrimination and political and economical problems in Italy.

Queston 6- What obstacles did immigrants from the country you are researching face? (Discrimination, Assimilation) I chose this question because i think it is a good question. There was a lot of discrimination against Italian Americans in the U.S. Non Italians were mad that Italian-Americans used the Italian cultures and language and not the American one. Italian Americans who were poorer were looked down upon. Most Italian people were force to get the lowest paying jobs that no body else ever wanted to have. They were often laborers or construction workers. After WWI Italians were looked at as criminals. People thought they would steal from, cheat, or even kill other people who lived outside of the Little Italys. People would use the term "wop" to describe Italians without papers. Italian American children often took on the lifestyles of american children. Italians were sometimes treated very unfairly in some places in America. The hostility against Italians was stopped in the 1930s

List positive and negative contributions as well as examples of cultural diffusion. ~ I chose to summarize this question because I thought it was really interesting how Polish immigrants really had a big impact on the United States. The Polish immigrants contributed a lot to our American Society. Starting from 1600 when Jamestwon was being discovered, Polish immigrants came and shared their industrial skills. They also are intellegent inventors who invented glass houses, pitch, potash burners, etc... The Polish were also always very cooperative and willing workers. They started the timber industry that was necessary for ship building and made HUGE contributions to world sciences. Some people say that the Polish were the backbone to our country's prosperity.

Question 3. Why did people leave the country that you are researching? I chose to summarize this question because: I couldn't find much on Poland and this was the question I had with the most info. People left Poland for many reasons. Some of these reasons were to seek better opprotunities, to escape conscription, to flee religious persecution, and some immigrants just wanted to make money. These immigrants were called 'for bread' immigrants. Once their goal (to make money) was achieved, they would go back to Poland and prosper.
