Second Wave of Immigrants

Explanation:

  • The colonial American society that is the cornerstone of America has created great waves of successful immigration to America from all over the world. However, public and political attitudes toward immigrants have always been contradictory.
  • The early immigrants to colonial America were mostly from England, Norway, France, Germany and other countries in northwestern Europe. In America, they sought, above all, an opportunity for a better life, and political and religious freedom.
  • The motive of their migration was riddled with greed and a desire for quick and easy wealth. Much to the chagrin of the indigenous indigenous peoples, the first colonizers killed whatever was in their way in order to get as quickly as possible fortune and leave the country alone. They kept the number of Indians to a minimum, and did not shy away from bringing in African slaves to increase profits and reduce labor costs.
  • Their descendants endeavored by all means to preserve the prestigious position afforded to them by their parents, displaying racial, religious and ethnic intolerance against the new waves of European immigrants coming from Italy, Poland, Russia and other Eastern European countries in the late 1800s. . A little later, their children showed great intolerance towards immigrants from South America, Asians, and African immigrants who began arriving during the second half of the 20th century.
