Yes, that is accurate. According to the Library of Congress, nearly 12 million immigrants arrived in the United States between 1870 and 1900. During the 1870s and 1880s, most came from Germany, Ireland, and England. But by the 1890s, that changed dramatically: by the turn of the century, there was a new wave of European immigrants, and they came mainly from Italy, Poland, and Russia. From 1870 to 1919, more than 23 million European immigrants came to the US, far exceeding any other immigrant groups.
