Assignment/Commentary: Quiz on urban order (late 19th century). A paragraph answer needed for the following question. I managed to pull off a 20/20 grade.

"As part of the great global migration, many immigrants found their way to the United States. Identify and explain two reasons why they ventured to the New World."

Many immigrants came to the United States in search of business to earn money. They would come to the US and buy small land to start small businesses or find cheap labor (b/c of their poverty). Many others came to the US to avoid persecution in Europe. For example, the Jewish were avoiding growing anti-Semitism. Both of these reasons lead people to come to the US in search for a happier, safer, or more beneficial career/life.
