Between 1600 and 1890 about 20 million immigrants arrived from Western Europe. Because the United States was young and growing these immigrants were welcomed to help develop cities, build roads, construct canals, and farm fields. By 1890 the United States was overflowing with immigrants as about 10 million immigrants arrived every five years from Southern and Eastern Europe including Greeks, Czechs, Hungarians, Italians, Poles, Jews, and Russians. After 1890 there was no more free land in the West. Illiterate immigrants were willing to work cheap, accused of stealing jobs, and easy prey for corrupt politicians.
the construction of better roads and canals
Historically, roads generally came before canals. The construction of roads dates back to ancient civilizations, such as the Romans, who built extensive road networks for trade and military purposes. Canals, while also ancient, became more prominent later, particularly during the Industrial Revolution, when they were developed to facilitate the transport of goods over longer distances and support growing economies. Thus, while both are vital for transportation, roads were established earlier in human history.
