Apparently it is a true story, like a paradise island
So, this is an odd question (unless you live in the UK).
I am an American, and impressment was largely used against American sailors by the British.
Impressment was the policy of capturing a ship and forcing the sailors to work for you. The British were the masters of it and it was super embarrassing for the American Navy.
The US made the British swear to stop in a treaty but it was a major cause of tensions leading up to the War of 1812.
Answer:
Stevenson is saying that when we take a bird’s-eye view, we see everything in a grand perspective. From there, much of what we humans do seems trivial or unimportant. We feel aloof from the rest of humanity, much as Apollo felt when he looked down on humans from atop Mount Olympus. Stevenson likens the man’s Apollo-like view to the pleasure he found in the northern Scottish landscape.
Stevenson used the allusion to Apollo to say that when we look at our experiences from a new perspective, we find unexpected pleasure and experience personal growth. He assumes his readers will be familiar with Apollo and the allusion to him will help them understand his new view of this landscape.
Explanation:
Immigration affected both immigrants and americans in many ways.
Assuming you are talking about the 1900s and onward:
Positive:
- Larger population may mean larger income source for governments, which can then provide more benefits for the citizens.
- etc.
Negatives:
- Larger populations means that less jobs are available to native US citizens and others. Also, when immigrants are more willing to work for less, it angers the citizens, as they think that their jobs are being taken away.
- etc.
