To what extent did immigrants give up their heritage to become Americanized, or fully assimilated into the existing culture?

History

Aliun [14]3 years ago

Answer:

The immigration experience for different groups of immigrants is different and they assimilated to American society in different ways. There were also biases and prejudices on the part of mainstream society that were barriers for some populations.

Explanation:

The process of assimilating into American culture is complex. The early immigrants from Northern Europe who arrived in colonial times or shortly thereafter had an easier assimilation process as they were more like the settlers culturally and historically although some Scandinavian and German cultural influences remained among families and in particular regions. There was also a large population who immigrated from Ireland around time from the 1820s to 1860s. In the mid to late 1800s there were waves of immigration from Southern and Eastern Europe and they were linguistically and culturally more distinct and so they also created enclaves in many of the the largest cities that allowed them to keep some of their heritage. Generally by the second generation immigrant children adopt many of the traits of the dominant culture and they are bilingual in many cases but can speak English like anyone born American.  The Chinese for example were discriminated against and excluded with the Chinese Exclusion Act in 1882. It was harder for them to assimilate.

While total U.S. healthcare costs grew by 4 percent in 2012, local and state healthcare costs grew at twice that rate, according to a Pew analysis of data from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services

The Declaration of the Rights of Man and the Citizen _____.
Eddi Din [679]
The correct answers are options #2 and 3.

The Declaration of the Rights of Man was a French document in which male citizens established what natural rights they have. This was very similar to the American Declaration of Independence, which was made 13 years before the Declaration of the Rights of Man.

Within this document, the French established that men are born equal and free, that people should be employed based on their skill set, and the ability to do what they want so long as they do not hurt others (like practice their own religion).

This was one of several documents during the late 1800's that established rights that all citizens should have within a country.
