EQ: How did immigration impact the US?

The student will be able to describe the revolution in transportation and the causes and effects of new immigration with 80% accuracy

Where does today’s objective fit into the unit learning goal scale?

What do you need to be able to do with this objective to reach mastery or SCALE Everest?

Objective and Scale:

How did new forms of Transportation impact industry in the North?

Why did large numbers of immigrants come from Ireland and Germany?

How might newcomers from different cultural backgrounds affect a region?

What was the nativist response to immigration?

Questions to think about:

Improvements in transportation encouraged the growth of American Industry in the North

As transportation became faster and easier, factories could make use of raw materials from farther away

Improved transportation also allowed northern factories to ship goods to distant markets.

1. Transportation Revoltion

1807, Robert Fulton used a steam engine to power a boat

Fulton’s Clermont was the first functional steamboat

Great for river use, but not ocean travel In 1850, a new type of American-built

ship was used, the Clipper Ship. They were long and slender and very

swift These Yankee Clippers as they were

called were the fastest ships until Great Britain produced oceangoing steamships

2. Steamboats and Clipper Ships

Of all forms of new transportation, railroads did the most to bring together raw materials, manufactures, and markets.

Steamships were limited in where they could go because they could only travel the paths of rivers

Rail could be build almost anywhere America’s first railroad, the Baltimore and

Ohio, began in 1828. By 1830, Peter Cooper build the first

American made steam locomotive By 1840, about 3,000 miles of railway track

had been built in the US.

3. Railroads

Ireland had long been under British rule and British landlords owned the best farmland

In 1845, a fungus destroyed the potato crop leading to famine or widespread starvation

The years that followed are called the Great Hunger, more than 1 million people starved to death another million left Ireland

They had little money arriving in the US and therefore became part of the working class in factories and mills (settled in North East)

Germans immigrated to escape harsh rulers Unlike the Irish, German immigrants were

skilled craftsman and brought money with them to the U.S.

They moved west settling the ORV and the Great Lakes Region

4. Why immigrate?

Some Americans worried about the growing immigrant population. They were nativists or people who wanted to preserve the country for the white, American protestants.

They targeted Irish immigration because they were mostly Roman Catholics

One group formed a secret group in New York, the group would evolved into a new political party called the Know-Nothings that would run a candidate in 1856

5. Nativism

1. How did new forms of Transportation impact industry in the North?

2. Why did large numbers of immigrants come from Ireland and Germany?

3. How might newcomers from different cultural backgrounds affect a region?

4. What was the nativist response to immigration?
