Immigration

Between 1885 and 1917, nearly 18 million immigrants from Central and Southeastern Europe moved into America’s largest cities. Although many of these immigrants could not speak English, they found work in America’s numerous factories and helped make the United States a powerful and prosperous nation. Because they often received low wages for hard work, many of these immigrants joined labor unions, making organizations like the American Federation of Labor and the Congress of Industrial Workers stronger than ever.
