Description
Join us as we trace the evolving history of U.S. immigration, shaped by global events, economic needs, and national policy. From early settlers arriving from Western Europe in the 1600s to waves of immigrants from Ireland, Germany, Scandinavia, and Eastern Europe, the story reflects constant change. We’ll also examine the sharp decline caused by restrictive quotas in the early twentieth century and the renewed diversity that followed the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965.
