slavery and Immigration
The first major wave of European immigration to the United States began in the mid-19th century, particularly around the 1840s and 1850s. This period was characterized by large influxes of Irish and German immigrants, driven by factors such as famine, political unrest, and economic opportunities. The Irish Potato Famine (1845-1852) significantly contributed to the surge, leading to millions seeking a better life in America.
seriously? the famine.
Apparently some push factors were the dense population and changing of lifestyle in the Netherlands.
one event was the industrial revolution
Immigration was relatively small until the 1840s when it rose substantially. The volume passed 200,000 for the first time in 1847 and the period between 1847 and 1854 saw the highest rate of immigration in U.S. history.
