In the late 1800s and early 1900s, old immigration primarily consisted of individuals from northern and western European countries, such as Germany and Ireland, who arrived in the U.S. before the 1880s. In contrast, new immigration involved a wave of migrants from southern and eastern Europe, including Italians, Poles, and Russians, who came during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. These new immigrants often faced different cultural perceptions and harsher discrimination due to their distinct ethnic backgrounds and religious practices. Additionally, while old immigrants typically assimilated more easily into American society, new immigrants often settled in ethnic enclaves and maintained stronger ties to their homeland.
