Immigrants, someone who moved to a new country to settle, came from Europe in the early 1800’s, for various reasons. The United States promised a better life in the form of change, prosperity and democracy. First, the immigrants moved to the US because their lives in Europe were full of poverty and lack of opportunity. They came to America in search of jobs, money and land. Land, which was a part of the “American Dream” was plentiful and with the movement of Indians to Indian Territory and now available to any settler willing to make the journey and settle out West. Settlers, traders, and hunters were slowly pushed west to make money and seek personal opportunity. Secondly, they believed the government of the US was far better than the repressive governments of Europe and sought to carry those ideals from the east coast of the country to the West. Democracy offered every white male, regardless of their background, an opportunity to vote and have their voice heard. This form of government and the opportunity for prosperity offered freedoms to people who never had experienced it before.
