    The document discusses the history of immigration to the United States from the 1840s to 1965. It notes that immigration rose significantly in the 1840s and 1850s due to economic and political factors in Europe. While immigrant experiences varied, they were all shaped by cultural distances from their home countries and attitudes in American society. The Immigration Act of 1965 dramatically changed the source countries of immigrants to the U.S., with most coming from Asia and Latin America rather than Europe. The document also examines the challenges immigrants faced in assimilating into American culture while maintaining their own traditions.

    The Immigrant Experience

    Aulia Rahma
    (105110104111002)
    First arose in the 1840s and 1850s when the numbers of
    immigrants rose significantlu due to economic change in
    Europe and America, famine, political and religious dissent.
    Letters from an American Farmer (1782), St John De
    Crevecour had explained to Europeans that from a
    promiscuous breed of English, Scots, Iris, French, Germans
    and Swedes that race now called Americans had arisen.
    Immigrant experiences were very varied but all were shaped
    by a number of factors.
    There was what may be called the cultural distances to be
    travelled least in the case of the immigrants from British
    Isles who spoke the same language as their new fellow
    inhabitants and who had common histories and who had
    common histories and traditions, including in most cases a
    common Protestantism.
    The immigrant of the 1840s and 1850s found the society that
    was unsure of itself and therefore particulary hostile.
    1924 1929 anxieties diminished, especiallu when the Great
    Depression of the thirties made the United State.
    The Immigrant Act of 1965 had strongly affected patterns of
    immigration.
    Asia and Latin America were now providing the vast bulk of
    immigrant, not Europe.
    Before 1965 Europe was major source of immigrant.
    1820 and 1965, 81.1% Europe; 2.8% Asia; 13.6% North
    America (Include Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean);
    1.5% South America; 0.05% Africa; last 1.1%
    elsewhere.
    Over 100,000 German Born were settled in New York,
    Illinois, Ohio, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Missouri.
    UPROOTING and REROOTING
    US has been in three minds about immigrant : begin
    with preached, pursued Ando conformity, desire to
    make the immigrant conform in every possible way
    to the host culture.
    In reality it was very unlikely that immigrants could
    achieve full structural assimilation, defined as a full
    integration into the intimate, personal relationship
    of the host society.
    One of the most important reason for living close to
    others of ones own kind was to belong to burial
    society.
