![Page 40: Urbanization As Seen Through Late 19c - Early 20c Architecture](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062410/56816230550346895dd261e3/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Changes in Immigration Patterns• The years between
1870 and 1920 saw one of the greatest surges of immigrants to America. Until 1890, most of these immigrants came from Northern and Western Europe, just like many of the original European immigrants to America.
![Page 41: Urbanization As Seen Through Late 19c - Early 20c Architecture](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062410/56816230550346895dd261e3/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Changes in Immigration Patterns
• On the west coast, immigrants from China began arriving for the Gold Rush in 1849, but many ended up working on the railroads or starting farms; after 1882 Congress limited Chinese immigration.
![Page 42: Urbanization As Seen Through Late 19c - Early 20c Architecture](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062410/56816230550346895dd261e3/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Changes in Immigration Patterns
• After 1890, the immigrating population changed to people coming from Southern and Eastern Europe, countries such as Italy, Austria-Hungary, and Russia. During this time almost a million people also immigrated from Mexico and the West Indies.
![Page 43: Urbanization As Seen Through Late 19c - Early 20c Architecture](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062410/56816230550346895dd261e3/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Why the New Immigration?
• Rapidly growing population in the Old World• Industrialization in Europe and the importation of American food disturbed the position of the peasant• “America Fever”• Persecutions of minorities in Europe• Birds of Passage

![Page 47: Urbanization As Seen Through Late 19c - Early 20c Architecture](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062410/56816230550346895dd261e3/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Nativism• Nativism: Preferential treatment towards native born Americans
– Especially Anglo Saxon, Protestants– The American Protective Association (1887)
• Organized labor fought new immigration because poor immigrants were willing to take lower wages
