<span>The idea of "no taxation without representation" was one of the policies that contributed to the American colonists rebellion. After the French and Indian War, the British government needed to generate revenue. To do this, they turned to the colonists as the war was fought on American soil.

I believe that immigrants migrated to the United States because of the abundance of resources and work opportunities. Many also fled from wars and sought safety for their families and themselves. Difficulties that immigrants from the 19th century faced ,and still face now, was the idea of Racism and also how society saw them. Many also had trouble finding places to live or people to communicate with. Many formed small groups and communities to stay together with the people of their own race and culture for safety.
