Sinopsis

Each book in Primary Sources of Immigration and Migration in America paints a vivid picture for students of the varied histories of the people that make up the United States of America. These books take a unique approach on telling the history of the United States from the global perspective of the different immigrant groups that came here. What events were the catalysis for them to come? What impact did they have on the events that were unfolding in America once they got here? All of these questions and more will be answered through primary source imagery, documents, and clear, engaging text. Starting in Europe, with the invention of the steam engine and new farm equipment like the spinning jenny, the Industrial Revolution quickly spread to America. Through primary source materials, students will learn how mass production and mechanization changed the economy of America. A country once based on agriculture was transformed into a society that relied on efficient factories and manual labor. This book shows the impact it had on the population of America.
