Immigration

Immigration has both positive and negative aspects that impact various facets of society. While it can bring cultural diversity and economic benefits, it may also lead to challenges such as family separation, wage disparities, and stress on local social services.

After the discovery of gold in California in 1849, people from

all over the world came to take part in the Gold Rush. Many Chinese

also moved to the west coast at this time.


Irish immigrants

From 1641 to 1652, over 300,000 Irish people were sold as virtual slaves as a form of punishment to the first 13 colonies lasting from 7 to 20 years. The next major wave of Irish immigration was due to the devastation of the Irish Potato Famine (1845-1849). During the period of the Irish Potato Famine the population of Ireland dropped from 8 million to 6 million due to death from starvation or immigration.

Early immigration 1600-1800

The discovery of America led to a great power struggle for control of the new lands primarily between the three most powerful countries in Western Europe at the time: Spain, England, France. These European countries financed the voyages of the early explorers for many reasons:


To increase their lands and build great European Empires and to increase the wealth of the 'Mother Country' by exploiting the natural resources of the new lands - the search began for gold, silver and spices. To increase opportunities for trade and to spread the Christian religion.


The first explorers were followed by settlers - the immigration to America by the Europeans began in earnest. Most early immigrants were from England, but they also came from Scotland, Wales, Ireland, Germany, Holland and France by the 1600s


Native Americans

Native Americans, also known as American Indians, Indigenous Americans and other terms, are the indigenous peoples of the United States, except Hawaii. There are over 500 federally recognized tribes within the US, about half of which are associated with Indian reservations.
