Topic 3.12
How did immigration patterns during the early republic reflect changing economic opportunities?
Most immigrants moved westward to take advantage of gold mining prospects regardless of their profession beforehand.
Increased industrialization in Northern cities attracted a significant influx of European immigrants seeking work.
Immigrants largely avoided industrial areas, preferring agricultural settings instead for employment opportunities.
Immigration decreased overall due to lack of economic opportunities throughout America.
