colonial era, the first part of the 19th century and from the 1880s to
1920. Many immigrants came to America seeking greater economic

arrived in search of religious freedom. From the 17th to 19th centuries,
hundreds of thousands of African slaves came to America against their

was the 1882 Chinese Exclusion Act. Individual states regulated
