Between 1870 and 1920, immigrants came to the U.S. primarily for economic opportunities, escaping poverty and seeking better jobs in rapidly industrializing cities. Many were fleeing political and religious persecution, particularly from Eastern and Southern Europe. Additionally, the promise of land and the possibility of upward mobility attracted individuals and families looking for a better quality of life.
