During the Gilded Age (approximately 1870-1900), the United States experienced a significant influx of immigrants, primarily from Southern and Eastern Europe, as well as Asia. This period was characterized by rapid industrialization and urbanization, which created a high demand for labor in factories and on railroads. Immigrants often faced harsh living conditions, discrimination, and exploitation, yet they played a crucial role in shaping the American economy and culture. The era also saw the rise of nativist sentiments and restrictive Immigration policies, culminating in laws like the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882.
