Immigration Essay Immigration has been an issue in our country since the birth of our nation. Some of the first immigrants to America were fleeing religious persecution and freedom from England and Sweden. These individuals were known as ?old immigrants? they were the original immigrants that came to America seeking freedom in the new world. As America grew in size and popularity, waves of ?new immigrants? primarily from southern and eastern Europe came to the new world seeking better lives, jobs, and freedom. . During the ?new? immigration era, America had a very relaxed policy toward immigration. I think this was a good thing for America because without it we wouldn?t be the country we are today.

Labor Unions

Labor Union DBQ A union is the joining of two or more things to make a whole. More specifically, a labor union is an organization of wage earners for aid, protection and dealing collectively with employers. The workers in these labor unions were part of Organized Labor and were considered a political force. During the period of 1875 to 1900, Organized Labor began to rise in America. Despite Organized Labor?s attempts to improve the position of the working man, it failed to fully deliver on its promises due to disputes over differences among the various unions, failure to improve workers? financial situations and the inherent weaknesses within the unions themselves.

Annexation A method used by the government to acquire and establish sovereignty over new territory. Sometimes force is used in annexation, but other times it is done through a legal system, such as a purchase. The United States annexed Texas in 1845 after a consent from Mexico. Antislavery Antislavery was a wide spread idea (with most of its supporters being in the New England areas) in the 1800's. the North readily opposed the idea of slavery, because it was abusive and their economy didn't rely on it. But even in the South, in the 1820's, there were numerous antislavery societies. These societies were actually more numerous south of Mason and Dixon's line. Black Hawk
