Life in America for “New” Immigrants
America is thought to be the world’s melting pot. In the late 19th and early 20th century, immigration to the United States drastically increased. Immigrants began coming from different parts of the world, and the U.S. struggled with how to absorb these new immigrants. Nativist sentiment pushed for limits to be placed on how many new immigrants could enter the country. At the same time, progressive reformers like Jane Addams worked to improve the lives of immigrants in the country.
