In the late 1880s, a surge of immigrants came to the United States primarily due to economic opportunities and the promise of a better life. Factors such as widespread poverty, political instability, and famine in their home countries, particularly in Europe, drove many to seek work in the rapidly industrializing U.S. Additionally, the expansion of railroads and the availability of jobs in factories and on farms attracted millions seeking to escape difficult conditions. The U.S. also promoted itself as a land of freedom and opportunity, further enticing immigrants.
