Question

how dd the new immigrant experience reflect both the promise and prejudices of american society during the gilded age?

Answer 1

Answer:

The experiences of new immigrants were full of economic opportunities and biasness in the socio-economic environment at the same time.

Explanation:

The Gilded Age saw a huge increase in the number of immigrants entering the country, with thousands of people flocked in for a promised American dream experience, where the opportunities were infinite in the new world. However, the experience of the real world was different from what they expected because their life was riddled with significant economic struggles and social upheaval. Many Americans felt high levels of animosity towards immigrants coming into what they felt was their country and that animosity spilled over not only into the workplace but also in various social environments.
