As the early pioneers raced across the continent as part of the great

westward expansion, another group of pioneers was coming ashore on the

Northeast (and mid-west). Perplexed, poor and lacking knowledge of the

American lifestyle and language these immigrants, in the words of one

observing journalist, constituted the ragged regiments of Europe. They had

fled the conditions of Europe in hopes of securing, for themselves, money to

return home with or in some cases a permanent position in a country of

abundant opportunity.

Between the years of 1870 and 1910, the United States saw itsgreatest influx of immigrants. More than twenty million immigrants entered

the country during those forty years. This phenomenon resulted, at least

partly, from the gains of the industrial revolution. American industries were

experiencing one of theirgreatest booms (and that translated into a demand

for more and more workers). At first the new immigrants, with much needed

industrial skills and arriving mostly from northern and western Europe, were

welcomed. However, the later immigrants arriving from southern and eastern

Europe were not welcomed by the native born Americans. Theseimmigrants

lacking skills, good breeding and undesired came at a time when a large

influx of unskilled labor was no longer a xenophobia that saw their way oflife being threatened by the constant arrival of new immigrants with

different values and ideas. These Americans saw their job security

challenged by immigrants that were willing to accept lower wages to secure

jobs.

Some of these immigrants had the extra burden of having noticeable

characteristics thatcould be exploited by anyone seeking justification to do

so. Some had different skin color and/or language and then there were some

with religious views that conflicted with established Protestant views.
