Growing pop helped progress of Western expansion

rapid increase in population

put pressure on the land

inability to keep food production up with pop. growth

relative overpopulation in many areas

migrations normally started 20 years after a significant population increase

baby boomers grew up and migrated due to little opportunity and land availability

rapid pop. increases before great industrial development led to millions of

country folk moving abroad for work and better economic opportunity

number of men and women who left Euro increased rapidly after WW1

Who Migrated?

peasant landowners or village craftsman

why- life was threatened by little land, eastern agriculture and cheap factory goods

German peasants left Rhineland & Southwestern Germany 1830-1854

why- they felt trapped by Friedrich List & his Dwarf Economy

Small farmers/ skilled artisans moved to stay ahead of poverty

Young, unmarried & wanted to maintain/improve status = good for country that they went to

Immigrants within Euro

Jews from East Euro & peasants from Ireland migrated to Great Britain

Little land was available in Ireland

Russians and Poles went to Germany for work

Russia- land was held by non-jews, and jews migrated to leave competition in factory

latin people from Spin, Portugal, and Italy went to france

migrants as opposed to immigrants- they returned home

Balkans returned more than Jews and Irish

Italians

3/4 depended on agriculture

north america - cheap wheat

landowning peasants -> standards of living was falling

they went to U.S, Brazil, Argentina

Brazil had large coffee plants, black slavery collapsed so they promised high wages, and provide travel

Swallows- didn’t want to settle permanently

harvested wheat and flax in Italy & traveled to Argentina to harvest during Dec-April, returned in Spring

Gave Annie Ten Dollars

NEW YORK, Jan. 1. — Without any ceremony or formal opening the immigration officials of this city to-day settled down on Ellis Island, in the harbor, and the barge office is known to them no more. The steamship Nevada was the first to arrive at the new landing place. Her immigrants were put aboard the barge J. E. Moore, and amid the blowing of foghorn and whistles approached the pier.

   Charles M. Hanley, private secretary to the late Secretary Windom, who had asked to be allowed to register the first immigrant, was at the registry desk when there came tripping up a fifteen-year-old-girl, Annie Moore, and her little brother. They had come from Cork to meet their mother, who lives here.

   Col. Webber greeted Annie, and then presented her with a crisp new $10 bill.

The New York Times carried the following story on New Year's Day 1892:

Annie Moore is known for being the first person to be registered at Ellis Island. She is honored by

two statues, one on Cobh, formerly Queenstown, which is

the place of departure and one at Ellis Island .
