    IMMIGRATION

The immigration of European to united stated states was characterized by various reasons by 1870 and 1880 there was the end of one this g and the beginning of the other. The general cause of migration in the 1820 and 1875 was because of being detained and others moved because of their personal  reasons that were temporary and very limited in the range of their influence another reason was because of political and religious discontent  which made the Europeans to migrate another reason is because of they were dissatisfied with the system of taxation and the forest laws this did not impress the European and led to their migration also they were suffering the disabilities of a conquered race and a subject to foreign land proprietors and harassed by the upholders of a foreign religion and the agitation of religious and political leaders strongly combined with economic cause to promote their departure foe America. The railroads across made it easier for the Europeans to travel to America.

The great migration of African Americans to the north from 1916 to 1970 is because they were driven from their homes by unsatisfactory economic opportunities and harsh segregationist laws, and thy took advantage of the industries and they went  there to be employed as workers  as there was demand for workers  and also they moved because of the oppressive conditions of the south this made them to move to the north this oppressive conditions include lynching, inequality in education, denial of suffrage and unfair legal system. The railroad needed workers and went ahead to pay for them and this increased the migration of Africa Americans .the north lacked workers because of loss of their men  who left for the forces and they needed workers so much.
