1 IMMIGRATION TO THE U.S We will know the main immigration ports of entry, which immigrant groups entered through each, and how population growth was impacted by immigration. Students will also know the definition of nativism and understand the causes for its rise in the United States. Students will be able to explain in an OER essay how these components connected to influence the United States during the Gilded Age.

2 Have you ever gone to a party (or other places) and discovered that you do not know a single person? How did it make you feel? Do you trust people that do not look or think like you do?

3 Consider this - You and your family are moving to South Korea. How do you feel about it? Predict the issues you will face when you get there?

4 With your group, use the facts sheet on immigrants I have given you to- (a) list the main ports for immigration on your fact sheet and circle the area on the map while (b) matching and labeling the immigrant group or groups to their area of entry.

5 What were the main immigration entry ports? Where did the Europeans usually enter? the Asians? the Hispanics? What are some specific problems related to overcrowding in cities?

6 Look at your fact sheet and decide with your group what nativism means

7 The Gilded Age: Nativism becomes an issue. Nativism = this becomes an issue as immigrants begin coming to America. Immigrants were treated with suspicion, disrespect, discrimination, up to and including hatred. It was believed that they would destroy the way of American life in the United States with their way of thinking and culture.

8 Speak Out! Share group definitions of nativism

9 Nativism: protecting the interests of native-born or established inhabitants against those of immigrants

10 Why were immigrants so readily accepted into the United States by the government and big businesses?

11 How did the public react to the influx of immigration during the Gilded Age and Industrial Revolution?

12 Following your handout you will prepare to write a 5 paragraph essay. With your group you will have 15 minutes to brainstorm: -How immigrants impacted population growth & the growth of major cities & -How American nativism affected (in the past) & currently affects immigrants.

13 You will 35 minutes ONLY to individually complete your paper. Use the handout and rubrics as a guide to answer the prompt: What type of impact did immigrants have on the populations of the United States and what type of discrimination would immigrants have faced during the Gilded Age as a result of Nativism?

14 Immigrant fact sheet- The Gilded Age: Immigrant life SE s: 3C,3D: Analyze social issues affecting women, minorities, children, immigrants, urbanization, the Social Gospel, and philanthropy of industrialist; Describe the optimism of the many immigrants who sought a better life in America.

15 Immigrant fact sheet- The Gilded Age: Immigrant Life: Ellis Island Ellis Island = This was the entry point of most immigrants coming in from Europe. All immigrants had to stop here before setting foot on United States soil. Immigrants had their names changed. They had medical examinations, failed, denied entry or quarantined. Once approved, you would then be ferried to the City of New York.

16 The Gilded Age: Immigrant Life: Angel Island The Gilded Age: Immigrant Life Angel Island = This was the entry point of most immigrants coming in from Asia. It was the equivalent to Ellis Island on the West Coast of the United States. All immigrants had to stop here before setting foot on United States soil. Once approved, you would be ferried onto San Francisco, California.

17 The Gilded Age: Immigrant Life: Southwest The Gilded Age: Immigrant Life Southwest = This has always been the entry point for people from Mexico, central and Latin American Countries. No specific port of entry due to proximity and history.

18 The Gilded Age: Reaction of Immigrants coming to America. Immigration prior to 1890 = Most worked as laborers, were skilled and mostly Anglo- Saxon. Many settled the West. Those from northern Europe settled in eastern cities. New immigrants after 1890= there was an influx of immigrants from Eastern Europe who came with different languages and cultures. They suffered discrimination.

19 The Gilded Age: Impact of Immigrants on population. Immigration to the United States: 1. expanded population of eastern cities due to large immigrant populations that sought work in cities and factories (late 19 th and early 20 th centuries. 2. Growth of the Pacific Coast due to immigration from Asia. (Chinese) 3. Changing population of the Southwest (Texas to California) due to the influx of immigrants from Mexico and Central America. 4. Expansion of the farm population of the Southwest over time as agriculture developed and depended on immigrant and migrant labor.

20 The Gilded Age: Impact of Immigrants on population. Treatment of minorities = Most minorities were denied civil rights. Child Labor = Industry preference for minimally paid child labor led to laws against the use of children in factories and jobs. Growth of Cities = Problems of overcrowding, inadequate infrastructure, crime, pollution, disease, education, and efficient local government were created.

21 The Gilded Age: Nativism becomes an issue. Nativism = this becomes an issue as immigrants begin coming to America. Immigrants were treated with suspicion, disrespect, discrimination, up to and including hatred. It was believed that they would destroy the way of American life in the United States with their way of thinking and culture.
