Europe, China, and other.

1800s and the early 1900s.

There was more land in the America. Most farmers did not own land. So, they had to pay the landowner. By the time they paid the landowner, there was hardly enough food to feed themselves.

Europe, 1800s:
Bad weather and diseases damaged harvests and some crops failed. As a result, many people had to struggle to get enough to eat.

In Ireland:
The main crop grown is potatoes and  diseases damaged it. During the first years, people were hungry, then as the potatoes continued to fail, millions of people in Ireland died. A million others fled to America.]]> 2021-04-14 20:11:35 UTC https://padlet.com/ltran121/pfpj813chrzr6kst/wish/1418364727 Adhvik, Derick, Angela, Rachel. https://padlet.com/ltran121/pfpj813chrzr6kst/wish/1418366964 Andrew carnigi and his family went to america from scotland.

In 1903, a poem by the American poet Emma Lazarus was added to the base of the Statue of Liberty. Lady Liberty, as the statue is also called, holds a torch in her right hand that stands for freedom  and liberty. The Statue was placed there in 1886, and from then on it was one of the first things many immigrants saw as they sailed into the harbor. The Statue of Liberty was built by a French sculptor, broken up into pieces, and shipped to the United States. It was then put back together on an island  in New York Harbor. Lady Liberty holds a stone table in her left hand. On that tablet is a very important date in American history: July 4, 1776. On that date, the Declaration of Independence was signed. The poem from Emma Lazarus imagines America speaking to people all over the world and saying, Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breath free. When immigrants arrived on Ellis Island, doctors and health inspectors checked to see that they were healthy. If an immigrant had a serious disease, that person was sent back home. If they were healthy, they were allowed to enter the United States. About twelve million men, women, and children passed through Ellis Island between 1892 and 1924.]]> 2021-04-14 20:35:14 UTC https://padlet.com/ltran121/pfpj813chrzr6kst/wish/1418441355
