Uddrag
Between 1840 and 1860, the United States received a big wave of immigrants. In Europe as a whole, famine, poor harvests, rising populations, and political issues caused that 5 million people had to leave their homelands each year.
For example, in Ireland, a virus attacked the potato’s, and 750,000 people starved to death. In 1847 alone, the number of Irish immigrants to the United States rised to 118,120 because of the potato crisis.
This caused that today there is about 39 million Americans of Irish descent. During the end of the 19th century, so many people were entered the United States that the government made a special port of entry on Ellis Island in New York City.
Between 1892, when it first opened, and to 1954, when it closed, Ellis Island in New York City was the way to for 12 million people to get into America. Among the immigrants that came to North America, one group came without will.
