LESSON PLAN

Lesson PlanLADY LIBERTY welcomed over 20million people to America through

the years 1880-1920. IMMIGRANTS came to America from Italy, Ireland, Poland, Lithuania and many more

countries around the world. THEY

CAME to escape war or violence in their own country, to escape famine, to find a place where they could worship,

live and work as they chose. THEY

BROUGHT their traditions, their cuisine, their native clothing and traditions and made America a country

filled with people of liberty.
