Social Tensions United States Immigrants
624 words
In the decades following the Civil War, the United
States emerged as an industrial giant. Old
industries expanded and many new ones, including
petroleum refining, steel manufacturing, and
electrical power, emerged. Railroads expanded
significantly, bringing even remote parts of the
country into a national market economy. America
was the ideal place. In the late 1800 s, people in
many parts of the world decided to leave their
homes and immigrate to the United States. Fleeing
crop failure, a short...

Elian Gonzalez South Florida

Emotions run high and opinions run irrational when
it comes to the custody status of Elian Gonzalez.
Many people insist that Elian will live a
miserable life in Cuba because little Elian will
not have the freedom that America allows its
citizens. Yet at the when these voices, including
Elian's South Florida family, demand freedom for
little Elian, they kidnap Elian from the love and
parental guidance Elian's father, Juan Miguel,
provides. The honor and love felt for Elian from
his family in Sout...

Immigration does not hurt the Economy The other
day in economics class someone (no names)
mentioned that immigration was bad for the
economy. Although I had another topic lined up I
decided that I write an entire paper based purely
on my opinion on the subject. Which is, I totally
disagree. Since the founding of the colonies
people have come here from every country on earth.
Whether it be escaping an oppressive government,
or just to find a general better way of life,
people immigrate to the Uni...

Indentured Servants Seventeenth Century
460 words
The Societies of Colonial New England and Virginia
The societies of New England and Virginia in the
seventeenth century contrasted each other greatly.
Many of the immigrants that settled in these
regions were from English or European origin.
Ironically, the life expectancy, family life, and
types of communities that these societies created
completely contradicted each other. Virginias
society was a gold rush society where a majority
of the colonists were men who became indentured
servants. Docum...

Southeast Asia Vietnam War

Imagine living in a society that does not accept
you and at the same time living in a culture that
is familiar to you but "foreign" to everyone else.
This is true for many Asian Americans who have
immigrated to the United States. Some people have
the option of leaving their homeland while others
such as the Vietnamese, Cambodian, Laos, and Mien
people were forced to leave in order to live.
People who choose to immigrate to the United
States usually think about why they are leaving

Sacco And Vanzetti Man Named
1,281 words
In May of 1920, Italian anarchists- Sacco and
Vanzetti, were charged and tried for the murders
of a paymaster and guard at a South Braintree shoe
factory. After being found guilty and put to
death, questions quickly erupted from the public.
It is the belief of many, including myself, is
that one or neither of these men were guilty. The
trial was unjust and the judge was bias and lead
the jury toward a conviction! These men were
prosecuted without a proper chance to prove their
innocence and were...

Ellis Island Will Forever Island Will Forever Immigrants

The immigration process between old world
countries and America was often tedious and could
last weeks. However there was a bright spot, and
that was the entrance to New York harbor, with the
Statue of Liberty in full view and the hopes and
dreams of a new life in the land of the free.
While there were other ports along the eastern
seaboard where immigrants could make a new home,
none was as alluring as New Yorks. The chance to

Personally Believe That Immigration American Citizens Immigrants
435 words
In reference to the article, I personally believe
that immigration should be regulated, and
restricted, however that it should not be shut
down completely. It is true that the majority of
United States citizens today are, or at least at
some point were, immigrants from another country.
The whole founding of our country was the result
of European immigrants fleeing their respective
countries. Because we are already so diverse and
probably one of the most multiethnic countries in
the world, I thin...

Political And Economic Fall Of Communism

Racism in Canada The common belief that Canada is

is perhaps one of the greatest falsehoods of North
American society today. Through out history,

attention these events have been buried. To such
an extent have these issues been neglected that
the general public now cannot recognized them or
