Immigration • Where did they go?
![Page 9: Immigration - White Plains Public Schools / Overvie Jews- garment industry Poles & Slaves- coal mines & steel mills Chinese- Transcont. RR & laundries Japanese- manual labor & farming](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051801/5ade70907f8b9a8f298b9707/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
How did they get here?
• Passage to the U.S. often cost a life’s savings. Because of this, entire families often saved enough money to send one or two family members to America, hoping eventually these members could afford to bring over the rest of the family.

On the Boat • The crowded steerage deck
contained a diverse group of people. Many were poor farmers whose fathers’ or grandfathers’ land had been divided so often that the plots were no longer large enough to support even single families.

The Promise of a Better Life • Others were
schoolmasters unable to find work or artisans looking for greater opportunities. Many were young men & women willing to risk traveling to an unknown land in hopes of finding a brighter future.

Travel Dangers • As for conditions below decks, an agent for
the U.S. Immigration Commission described them as follows: “During the twelve days in the steerage I lived in…surroundings that offended every sense. Only a fresh breeze from the sea overcame the sickening odors. Everything was dirty, sticky, & disagreeable to the touch.” In such conditions, disease & even death were not uncommon.

Living Conditions • Conditions were uncomfortable, crowed, &
dirty.

• In one part of New York City, 1,231 people lived in only 120 rooms.
• In Chicago in one year, over 60% of newborns never reached their first birthdays. Many babies asphyxiated in their own homes.
