In some instances, Federal officials expedited the naming process by furnishing the names themselves, and invariably the name would be the same as that of the freedman’s most recent master. But these appear to have been exceptional cases; the ex-slaves themselves usually took the initiative—like the Virginia mother who changed the name of her son from Jeff Davis, which was how the master had known him, to Thomas Grant, which seemed to suggest the freedom she was now exercising. Whatever names the freed slaves adopted, whether that of a previous master, a national leader, an occupational skill, a place of residence, or a color, they were most often making that decision themselves. That was what mattered.

Lerok [7]

Answer:

Immigration in the 1920s is different than it is today because in the 1920s less people immigrated to different locations because they did not have knowledge on where to go or why they even would go. Another reason it would have changed since the 1920's is because the world population has not been the same after the 20s and now there are more people immigrating into different parts of the world.
