The first was the great bubonic plague which happened in 1665. This was the last great epidemic of the plague which swept through London and killed over 100 000 people which was more than 20% of the population of the time. It also swept through many parts of Southern England and killed even more if we count those victims too.
The second was the Great Fire of London which happened less than a year later in 1966. The fire was so huge that it burned down the homes of approximately 70 000 people, which is important because the whole population of the city was 80 000. Over 13 000 houses were burned to the ground as well as almost a 100 churches.
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.
