SESSION ONEImmigration, Urbanization, and the Progressive Era
The “New Immigrants”
In the late nineteenth and early twentieth century, the United States was flooded with millions of “New Immigrants” from ______________ and ______________ Europe, which included countries such as _______________,
________________, and _______________.
Native born Americans tended to resent the “New Immigrants” for several reasons:
1. They didn’t understand __________________.
2. Their home countries lacked traditions of ________________ government.
3. Their religions (_________________, ______________, ) were largely alien to native born Americans.
4. They provided a steady supply of ______________ _______________, which undermined efforts by labor unions to get better wages.
Catholicism and cheap labor were also reasons why people resented the ______________ immigrants during the antebellum period. However, the Irish did speak English and had traditions of republican government, so no efforts were made by Congress to limit Irish immigration during the nineteenth century.
Anti-Immigrant Legislation and Quotas
Chinese Exclusion Act (1880s) Immigration Quota Acts (1920s)The first legislation to prohibit immigration by people of a specific nationality. Laws restricting immigration from Asia remained on the books until the WWII era.
Severely limited immigration from ___________ and __________ Europe, giving preference to immigrants from the British Isles and Germany.
Ethnic Neighborhoods and Immigrant Poverty
In most cases, immigrants were too poor to move beyond coastal cities, leading to the rise of densely populated ethnic neighborhoods. Immigrants relied on political machines, led by party bosses, to help them find jobs. The political machines relied on immigrant votes to keep themselves in power.
Muckrakers, such as Jacob ______________, author of How the Other Half Lives, exposed the poor conditions in urban tenements (low-rent apartments) and sweatshops, where immigrants performed cheap labor.
Although most immigrants stayed in coastal cities, such as NYC, many went to Chicago and other cities in the
Midwest where low-paying, undesirable jobs (e.g., meatpacking) were available. Upton Sinclair’s book, The _______________, exposed the wretched working conditions in Chicago’s meatpacking industry.

The Settlement House Movement
Jane Addams created the _____________________________________, a settlement house to help immigrants adjust. Provided education, job training, child care, etc.
The Progressive PresidentsTeddy RooseveltBefore Teddy Roosevelt (“TR”) was elected president, the federal government had tended to side with “big business” when there were conflicts between business and labor. Roosevelt offered Americans a “_____________ Deal,” promising to stand up to corporations who didn’t play fairly.
Anthracite __________ Strike – The first attempt by a president to end a strike by __________.
TR earned the reputation as a “_____________ buster” for prosecuting corporations who flagrantly violated the principles of the Sherman Antitrust Act. However, it became apparent that the Sherman Act was not strong enough to rein in monopolies.

19th Amendment
Black Leaders During the Progressive EraThe Progressive Era was a low point for American race relations. Racial segregation (Jim __________) was prevalent in many parts of the country, especially the South (including Washington, D.C.) and lynchings (executions of African Americans by angry mobs without a trial) were common during this period. While Progressive reformers did plenty to try to help immigrants to assimilate into American culture, they did little to promote racial equality. Black leaders, such as W.E.B. DuBois and Booker T. Washington, disagreed about the best way to help black citizens achieve political, economic, and social equality in America.
Booker T. Washington W.E.B. DuBois
Although Teddy Roosevelt had dinner with Booker T. Washington at the White House and appointed a black man to the post of Customs Collector at the Port of Charleston, the backlash from whites caused him to stop short of anything more ambitious than this. Woodrow Wilson sent race relations back several years by segregating the federal civil service, which had been integrated before his presidency.
