Immigration increased after the Civil War due to a combination of factors, including the industrialization of the United States, which created a demand for labor in factories and on railroads. Economic opportunities, particularly in the rapidly growing cities, attracted many immigrants seeking better living conditions and jobs. Additionally, political unrest and economic hardship in Europe encouraged many to seek a new life in America. The establishment of more lenient immigration policies during this period also facilitated the influx of newcomers.
Population growth through immigration, and the expansion of the railroads.
The tremendously rapid growth of American cities in the post-Civil War decades was largely due to immigration. Immigrants from Europe began flooding American shores after the Civil War.
Up to the Civil War, European immigration to the United States shifted significantly, particularly with the influx of Irish and German immigrants in the 1840s and 1850s. The Irish fled famine and poverty, while Germans sought economic opportunities and political freedom. This wave of immigration contributed to the growth of urban centers and intensified nativist sentiments, as many native-born Americans reacted against the cultural differences and economic competition posed by the newcomers. Ultimately, these demographic changes played a crucial role in shaping the social and political landscape leading up to the Civil War.
World War II significantly influenced German immigration to the U.S. as it led to a wave of refugees fleeing the Nazi regime and the devastation of war. Many Germans sought asylum from persecution, while others were displaced due to the conflict. Post-war, the U.S. implemented policies that allowed for the resettlement of displaced persons, including Germans, contributing to a notable increase in immigration during the late 1940s and early 1950s. Overall, the war shifted the dynamics of German immigration, transforming it from a trickle of voluntary migrants to a larger influx of refugees.

No. It never stopped. It slowed-down a bit in the first two years of the war, but then picked up again. After the war, it soared.
