Ellis Island
75% of immigrants to America go through Ellis Island (1892-1920)
--”Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, the wretched refuse of your teeming shore…I lift my lamp beside the golden door.”
–Statue of Liberty Emma Lazarus

Immigrants Assimilate Into Society
Assimilate = to fit in.
Most immigrants stayed in cities and lived in ethnic neighborhoods.
These neighborhoods would share the same language, religion, food, newspapers, clothing, and culture.
By 1890 many cities had a huge immigrant population. 4/5 people in NYC were immigrants.

• Americanization = helping newcomers learn American ways (language, customs, dress, and diet)
-In many cities institutions arose to help immigrants fit in (English classes, day care for working mothers, temporary housing)
• Settlement houses• YMCA• Salvation Army
-Immigrants usually stuck with their native cultures but children of immigrants were more likely to adopt American ways.

Americans’ Treatment of Immigrants/Nativism
![Page 35: Immigration 2012 2013](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061305/549c17d2ac7959ec2a8b463c/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Motivation For Nativism
• Fear, hostility, and suspicion• Prejudices based on race, ethnicity,
religion• Old Immigrants vs. New Immigrants
“The immigrants are an invasion of venomous reptiles…long-haired, wild-eyed bad-smelling, atheistic, reckless foreign wretches, who never did a day’s work in their lives.” –from a newspaper editorial
• Some similarities to today (i.e. jobs)
