In the late 1800s, people in many parts of the world decided to leave their homes and immigrate to the United States. Fleeing crop failure, land and job shortages, rising taxes, and famine, many came to the U. S. because it was perceived as the land of economic opportunity. Others came seeking personal freedom or relief from political and religious persecution, and nearly 12 million immigrants arrived in the United States between 1870 and 1900. During the 1870s and 1880s, the vast majority of these people were from Germany, Ireland, and England - the principal sources of immigration before the Civil War. Even so, a relatively large group of Chinese immigrated to the United States between the start of the California gold rush in 1849 and 1882, when federal law stopped their immigration.

Why does do campo’s expedition matter to Oklahoma
ddd [48]

Friar Juan de Padilla was a chaplain who travelled in an expedition to Oklahoma with Francisco Vazquez de Coronado, governor of New Galicia, a province of New Spain (now Mexico). Padilla was very impressed with the Wichita people, so he returned with two Mexican indians and a Portuguese-born soldier named Andres do Campo, to establish a Catholic mission.

Somewhere in Kansas, the Kaw tribe ambushed them, killing Padilla and holding the other three men captive for almost a year. When they escaped, they travelled across Oklahoma unto the Gulf of Mexico.

It took the men five years to reach the coast, however, it was a much more direct path than the one Coronado followed, between Quivira and the Spanish settlements. The route became adopted by New Spain as the official route to reach those territories. This route became very significant in the development of Oklahoma, and it is now largely followed by Interstate 35.
