Immigration in the early 20th century greatly affected immigrants. Millions of people from all over the world came to America in hopes of a better life. Their hope was that America would provide them with more economic opportunities and more individual freedoms. Once they arrived, their individual experiences differed greatly, but there were some common themes.
Immigrants new to the country usually lived in big cities where they can obtain factory jobs. This allowed for immigrants to interact with individuals who came from the same country. This resulted in a sense of community for thousands of new Americans.
However, many Americans were upset with the new wave of immigration. Many feared that these individuals would take their jobs, as many immigrant workers were willing to work for less. This fear sparked a nativist movement. Nativism is the idea that the needs/wants of individuals who are born in a country should be priority over individuals new to the country. Nativism resulted in job discrimination against immigrants, making work more difficult to find.

Red Guards<span>, </span>Chinese (Pinyin) <span>Hongweibing </span>or (Wade-Giles romanization) Hung-wei-ping, in Chinese history, groups of militant university and high school students formed into paramilitary units as part of the Cultural Revolution (1966–76). These young people often wore green jackets similar to the uniforms of the Chinese army at the time, with red armbands attached to one of the sleeves. They were formed under the auspices of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) in 1966 in order to help party chairman Mao Zedong combat “revisionist” authorities—i.e., those party leaders Mao considered as being insufficiently revolutionary. Mao was thus making a bid to regain control of the CCP from his colleagues, but the Red Guards who responded in August 1966 to his summons fancied themselves as new revolutionary rebels pledged to eliminating all remnants of the old culture in China, as well as purging all supposedly bourgeois elements within the government. Several million Red Guards journeyed to Beijing to meet with Mao in eight massive demonstrations late in 1966, and the total number of Red Guards throughout the country may have reached 11 million at some point.
While engaging in marches, meetings, and frenzied propagandizing, Red Guard units attacked and persecuted local party leaders as well as schoolteachers and school officials, other intellectuals, and persons of traditional views. Several hundred thousand people died in the course of these persecutions. By early 1967 Red Guard units were overthrowing existing party authorities in towns, cities, and entire provinces. These units soon began fighting among themselves, however, as various factions vied for power amidst each one’s claims that it was the true representative of Maoist thought. The Red Guards’ increasing factionalism and their total disruption of industrial production and of Chinese urban life caused the government in 1967–68 to urge the Red Guards to retire into the countryside. The Chinese military was called in to restore order throughout the country, and from this point the Red Guard movement gradually subsided.
