Old Immigrants started coming to the "New World" or North America from 1820-1860 from northern or Western Europe [German, English, and Norwegian]. Mostly Protestants. They were usually literate and skillful in professions. They came to America with families and had money/wealth. They were experienced in democracy. New Immigrants started coming to North America from 1880-1924 from southern or eastern Europe [Italians, Poles, eastern Europe Jews]. They were often of religions such as Catholic, Orthodox, or Jewish. Many were illiterate and unskilled (with some exceptions, for example some of the Jews were tailors). They came alone and with little to no money on them (again with some exceptions). Often they treated like radicals or autocrats. In the latter part of this wave, Asians came to America on the west coast, many to work on the railroads. Their labor was welcome but otherwise they were not well liked by the Caucasians.
