Answer:
1. It Created Ethnic Diversity
2. It Facilitated Industry
3. It inspired Conflict
4. It Built America
Explanation:
1. 1870s and 1880s immigration was northern European, Ireland, England and Germany. Then came eastern and southern Europeans in Scandinavians, and Asians. Neighborhoods in places like NYC were dedicated to their own ethic groups, an example is "Little Italy".
2. This helped create a lot of simplified tasks for unskilled workers instead of skilled worker who were payed much more. 2/3rds of workers in Chicago were then Immigrants. This made some groups go into specific industries. For example, Jews went into the Garment Industry most of the time.
3. Society was conflicted on the arrival of Immigrants at the time. Low wages and unemployment was blamed on Immigrants, as well as the cause of poverty and crime. Laws were passed like the 1882 Chinese Exclusion act, and the 1894 Immigration Restriction League.
4. Closer to 50% of Immigrants actually only came to the US for economic reasons and went here to gain easy money and they went back to their home country. Around 30-50% of Italian immigrants actually went back to Italy after only 5 years. Many still became part of American society, and now millions of people can trace back their roots to Immigrant Groups.
