Today Mr. Schick wasn't here so we had Mr. Blair come and sub for us as we did our sub work that Mr. Schick emailed us. We were told to read 84-85 in the article and take notes on these pages. Here are the notes. About 80 million people migrated to the U.S. between 1820 and 2015. There were three main eras fo immigration. 1. Colonial settlement in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. 2. Mass European immigration in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. 3. Asian and Latin American immigration in the late twentieth and early twenty first centuries. Immigration to the American colonies and the newly independent United States came from two principal places: Europe and Sub-Saharan Africa. Most of those Africans were forced to migrate as slaves. Migration from Europe to the United States peaked at several points during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries: 1840's and 1850's (Ireland and Germany), 1870's (Ireland and Germany), 1880's (Scandinavia), 1905-1914 (Southern and Eastern Europe). More than three fourths of the recent U.S. immigrants have emigrated from two regions: Latin America and Asia.
