men. 2) Carl Wittke had concluded the new immigrants were different from the old immigrants and American though religion, race and language. He noted the new immigrants’ horde contain a lot more people from southern, eastern European and Asian. However Carl Wittke had a lot of information wrong. Wittke never took the English people in new immigrants’ discussion. Because he assumed the English people were in America before colonial era. 3) The Irish people were forced out their land during the Potato Famine. The historian considered that the Irish people had no other choices. It was a choice of to live or die. Even though they left their country, they were “spiritually and emotionally they were back home in Ireland”. 4) The three regional systems: Russo Siberian System, the Asia and Pacific system, and the Atlantic Economics system were all colonizing during the 19th century.
These three regional areas eventually created the rise of industrial cities that created a new market for agricultural produces and international migration business for America. Stavans pages 40-70 1) John J. Audubon’s father was afraid that John J. Audubon would get drafted into Napoleon’s army at the age of 18. So he sends John J. Audubon off to America to avoid the conscription. 2) John J. Audubon’s trip was rather decent than other immigrants. He was taken care by Miers Fisher, a trusted agent from John J. Audubon’s father. His story told how wonderful and beautiful America was, that he spend his time mostly hunting, fishing, listening to music and painting. 3) John J. Audubon’s experience wasn’t representative. Because he had not endure any difficulties as an immigrant. He lived of a free environment, which he enjoyed himself though hunting, painting and music. 4) Lorenz da Ponte’s voyage was much like the other poor immigrants. He lived in poor condition with no bed. During dinner he had to endure with cheese because the food was so horrible, he couldn’t tell what it
was. 5) Lorenzo da Ponte opinion on Americans was horrible, because his “licentious wastrel” business partner abandoned him leaving with massive debt. After that, he was forced to paid or else a prisoner. So he sold everything to pay the Irish grocer. 6) Lorenzo da Ponte took on a new career for teaching Italian. Soon after his career takes off, there were more students coming in each day. Lorenzo da Ponte felt proud and joy, to see his language rooting in American society. 7) Kemble likes the republic government. She believes it’s the “noblest, highest, and purest form of government”. While she dislikes the fact of the American had destroy and enslaving the Native Indian. 8) Fanny Kemble’s wealth, celebrity, sex, and connection had led her see the unfairness that exist with the American society. Because of her sex, people had entered her without consent. Other than her sex, her connection and wealth led her see though upper classes activities. She took a carriage ride, which she called “very ugly”. It allows her to see how American had been satisfied with inferiority. 9) As both a woman and foreigner, Fanny Kemble had been to disadvantage, that allow her to see the true of things. Kemble was able to see how American is adopting from other nation as well as how they treat women (marriage at young age). 10) The Annie Reilly novel, in my opinion, is more like a collective diasporic memory. Because it didn't illustrates any relevant information on Irish famine. But instead, it talks about a new Irish Immigrant starting a new life in America. 11) During the 1850s, tension grew between the South and North debating on existence of slavery. Mattson’s story does account for benefits of whiteness, because I believe if Mattson weren’t white then he would’ve suffer much more. Instead he got help various people like police officer. Mr. Anderson and Mr. Larson. He was treated fairly since he’s white. 12) Out of all the immigrants listed, I would like to meet Hans Mattson. Since his story is most relatable to my. We both came to America not knowing the language and struggle though a new life. I’m curious to his future, to how he later becomes the Minnesota’s secretary of state. I admire his courage to come to America without his family and how he finally succeeds at the end.
The article, “Native Reactions to the invasion of America”, is written by a well-known historian, James Axtell to inform the readers about the tragedy that took place in the Native American history. All through the article, Axtell summarizes the life of the Native Americans after Columbus acquainted America to the world. Axtell launches his essay by pointing out how Christopher Columbus’s image changed in the eyes of the public over the past century. In 1892, Columbus’s work and admirations overshadowed the tears and sorrows of the Native Americans. However, in 1992, Columbus’s undeserved limelight shifted to the Native Americans when the society rediscovered the history’s unheard voices and became much more evident about the horrific tragedy of the Natives Indians.
To understand Jackson’s book and why it was written, however, one must first fully comprehend the context of the time period it was published in and understand what was being done to and about Native Americans in the 19th century. From the Native American point of view, the frontier, which settlers viewed as an economic opportunity, was nothin...

The Naturalization Act of 1790 was the first piece of United States federal legislation regarding immigration and it provided a national and uniformed rule for the process of naturalization. Under provisions of Article I, Section 8, of the Constitution, it granted citizenship to “all free white persons” after two years residence and provided that the children of citizens born outside the borders of the United States would be “considered as natural born citizens” (Naturalization Acts, United States, 1790-1795). This was an important piece of legislation that encouraged immigration necessary for the continued growth and prosperity of the republic. The individuals that it was intended to attract and protect were European whites, specifically men who would bring skills and participate in the emerging manufacturing and mining labor
With the naturalization law of 1790 "the eighteenth centuries free white persons became the nineteenth centuries Celts, Slavs, Hebrews, Iberics, Latins, and Anglo-Saxons, who in turn became the twentieth centuries Caucassians, as popular recognition of consanguinity of racial difference fluctuated in response to national, regional and local circumstances." According to the naturalization law;
Christopher McCandless’ long, fascinating, but ultimately fatal journey into the wilderness of Alaska is depicted in the biography, Into the Wild, written by Jon Krakauer. Late in the of summer of 1990, a very young Christopher McCandless left his ordinary world in Annandale, Virginia to pursue a solitary life in the untamed wilds of Alaska. Many will insinuate that Christopher McCandless’ actions were childish and idiotic, but a stronger argument would be that his unconventional thinking and desire to live life on his own terms allowed him to reach self-actualization.
History provides several horrible periods of violence, fear and murder. Such horrible acts against humanity have been committed in the name of religion, colonization, and racial superiority. The Holocaust, was one of the most catastrophic and saddest events in history, where about 11 million people, including Jewish children, families, and political dissenters were mass murdered. However, there exists another mournful and cruel period that marked the lives of many Sephardic Jews with secrecy and fear. One hardly hears about the harassment, rejection and humiliation of Sephardic Jewry in Spain, Portugal, and countries like Mexico, at the hands of the Holy Office of the Inquisition, which began in 1492. Due to these events, Sephardic Jews found themselves facing one of the most complex decisions of their lives and those of future generations; conversion, expulsion or death. The reasons for conversion are complex, as many converted by force and others for social or political reasons. As a result, converts became known as Conversos and “marranos /chuetas, and the latter are derogatory terms, as the names imply “swine” (Hordes 6). Another important term is Anusim, referring to those "whose conversion was prompted by violence and fear not sincerity” (Hordes 6). Marranos, were secretive people often, “keeping their children from their Jewish identity, until they reached an age where discretion could be trusted "(Telushkin 195). All of these events, have led to the complex phenomena, of the crypto-Jews in the new world, including Mexico and the American Southwest. Thus, sparking new areas of interest and research of their practices, customs, authenticity, and identification.
Earl M. Maltz is a professor at Rutgers School of Law, who teaches constitutional law, employment discrimination, conflicts of law, and a seminar on the Supreme Court. He has written two books and various articles surrounding the topics of constitutional law, statutory interpretation, the role of the courts and legal history. In his article, “The Fourteenth Amendment and Native American Citizenship,” Maltz argues that the status of Native Americans were considered when writing the Fourteenth Amendment, yet discussions on the topic rarely focus on the role that they played. I think that the topic of Native American citizenship rose separately from African-American citizenship and that Maltz’s use of court cases throughout the text furthered

Many of the signers of the Declaration of Independence represented slave states themselves, and even though in an originalist approach to the Declaration slaves and women may have not been considered as equals which is what Douglas states, but in the approach that Lincoln takes in his speeches men can refer to the humankind as a whole. In the Law of Nature everyone is equal which becomes chaos. When infants are born they also have no choice as to who they are in their life, they are all created equally. Therefore what makes one group of people more important than others? This is the point that Lincoln makes that Douglas cannot fight against. Douglas never states that slavery is wrong, even though he clearly states being from Illinois that they are not a slave state. In this situation he even makes it seem as if he supports something that if the roles were reversed, if he had been born with darker skin rather than a shade of white he would have had an entirely different view

Migration means leaving or abandoning something, and migration is also defined as the movement of individuals from place to place for the purpose of settling in the new place. A term that defines migration as the transition from the mother country to stability in another country, In which they move individually or collectively from their home country to a new home. Usually there are many conditions that lead to migration, such as the spread of civil or external wars in countries, or poor economic conditions, which are considered as triggers for migration. The countries of the Diaspora are keen to apply a range of legal and legislative mechanisms, which guarantee the protection and respect for the full rights of migrants. According to the general
