In which John Green teaches you about the massive immigration to the United States during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Immigrants flocked to the US from all over the world in this time period. Millions of Europeans moved to the US where they drove the growth of cities and manned the rapid industrialization that was taking place. In the western US many, many Chinese immigrants arrived to work on the railroad and in mines. As is often the case in the United States, the people who already lived in the US reacted kind of badly to this flood of immigrants. Some legislators tried to stem the flow of new arrivals, with mixed success. Grover Cleveland vetoed a general ban on immigration, but the leadership at the time did manage to get together to pass an anti-Chinese immigration law. Immigrants did win some important Supreme Court decisions upholding their rights, but in many ways, immigrants were treated as second-class citizens. At the same time, the country was rapidly urbanizing. Cities were growing rapidly and industrial technology was developing new wonders all the time. John will cover all this upheaval and change, and hearken back to a time when racial profiling did in fact boil down to analyzing the side of someone's face.
Hey teachers and students - Check out CommonLit's free collection of reading passages and curriculum resources to learn more about the events of this episode. As America industrialized further and manufacturing grew, a rush of new immigrants came to America seeking job opportunities: www.commonlit.org/texts/the-r...
Immigrants often entered through New York's Ellis Island where the Statue of Liberty bore the iconic phrase "Give me your tired, your poor,": www.commonlit.org/texts/the-n...
Immigrants experienced culture shock and hard living conditions during this time, as documented in later memoirs such as "America and I": www.commonlit.org/texts/ameri...

John, love the lessons. Good work. A small point I'd like to make is that the "Irish Potato Famine" was not a potato famine. Ireland is an island, surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean, which was teaming with fish, it has fertile plains for both cropping and livestock production. So why was there a famine?? Because Ireland was occupied by the British - who at this time in an effort to feed their armies and expand their empire took: 1845 -3,251,907 quarters (8 bushels=1 quarter) of corn exported from Ireland to England 1845 - 257,257 sheep exported to Britain 1846 - 480,827 swine exported to Britain 1846 - 186,383 0xen exported to England 1847 - 4,000 ships carrying peas, beans, rabbits, salmon, honey and potatoes left Ireland for English ports 1847 - 9,992 Irish cattle sent to England 1847 - 4,000 Horses and Ponies sent to England 1847 - Approximately 1,000,000 gallons of butter sent to England 1847 - Approximately 1,700,000 gallons of grain derived alcohal sent to England 1847 - 400,000 Irish people died due to starvation The Potato was the tip of the iceberg...

I'm wondering if you would consider doing a Pan-American history series: Pre-Columbian history Latin American history, Caribbean history, Canadian history, etc. While US history gets a lot of attention, I feel like many have trouble seeing how US history fits into the larger story of the Americas. I've petitioned for Pre-Columbian history before but I realize it's more niche history. This is a way to keep the broad scope necessary for a large channel while exploring new territory

Herald of Chaos One difference is that the U.S. was not yet a welfare state, so the early immigrants such as the Irish/Germans had to actually work. Hell, the Irish signed up for the Union army in mass right when they got off the boats and went right to war. Now those are some good immigrants.

Collin Well, no state welfare, sure. But the Churches of that time (with varying levels of commitment, admittedly) were there to fulfil that niche. Today? Not so much. That said, you are right to some extent. But it is also important to remember that while some things aren't so different from back then, the social and economic climate of those days was radically different from the modern day. So some divergence is present.

I'm from Argentina, and 90% of us descend from Italian and Spanish immigrants, but also from other European immigrants such as German, French, Russian, etc. After the US, Argentina received the largest number of migrants from Europe, surpassing Canada, Brazil and any other nation in the Americas. Yet many people in the US keep thinking their country was unique because of this. Also, slavery was abolished in my country in 1813 (and it didn't require a civil war), whereas black people were officialy granted freedom in the US after the Civil War ended in 1865. Yet Americans refer to their country as "the land of the free" or say things like their president is the "leader of the free world". They should really try learning something about the rest of the world, you know...

Eduardo Juarez Every decent country receives immigrants from poor countries. My country, Argentina, has dozens of millions of starving migrants from Bolivia, Paraguay, Peru, Colombia, etc. And it's the US that has troubled diplomatic relations with Iran, not the whole world. So you will obviously not see every president trying to do that.

luuchoo G That's not true. In the 1920s France became the world's largest immigrant country surpassing the USA and having immigrants coming from Chile, USA, Lots of European countries, Vietnam, China, African countries and more. Immigration to France started in the 1820s because France was a land of liberty and freedoms and was one of the only Republics in the world. Besides foreign immigrants, lots of immigrants came from colonies but were not considered immigrants since they were part of the empire. The Americans who immigrated to France were mostly blacks, but in the 20s, lots of white immigrants came because of prohibition. I'd say the biggest immigration destinations back in the early 1900s were France, USA, Canada, UK & Argentina. Most immigrants came to France since it was one of the first industrliased nations along with the UK and soon after the USA. Most of the French people who came to Argentina came because of small colonies created by French.

As an Argentinian, I must, yes, MUST congratulate you people at Crash Course for that great awareness of Argentina`s situation by the late 19th century at 8:11 . Basically, half of the territory was owned by natives (Like the Tehuelches) who lived freely in those lands, which were called "National Territories". Various measures were tried in order to coexist with the natives, like the infamous "Alsina`s Ditch" witch separated lower Buenos Aires (The State) from those lands, which failed.

I grew up in S.E. Kansas. From 1900 to 1917, most of our ancestors immigrated from Italy and Ireland. They came to work in the coal mines. I had blond hair as a kid and always felt like an outcast around all of my friends who had black hair. I wished so much I had black hair. Everyone was very poor then and many still are, however we all had a wonderful time growing up. I go back and visit and am amazed at the tiny houses and shacks many of us lived in then and some still do today.

I spotted something really f**ing awesome. at 04:07, there is what looks like a floating castle. I have no doubt that that castle is Laputa from the great anime move "Castle in the Sky" by Hayao Miyazaki. I wonder in importance of this specific referance, espeshaly how, if I am not mistaken, the culter and "tenological stylings" of both the movie and the time perios being discused are very simmular. I am amazed be the breath and depth of cultural references and cameos in this channel.

Well, there is around 9.6 million now, and if I call correctly we had around 5 million during the late 19th century to early 20th century. So around 25%.

Was the "Irish Potato Famine" actually more accurately named the "Irish Genocide"? The way it was explained to me was that not all crops failed on Ireland. The potato crop had failed, but there was a sufficient food supply. The British if I understand correctly walled off and protected the crops that did not fail. Essentially all their British neighbors on the Island of Ireland needed to do was not steal the other crops and share their own to prevent the death of millions of Irish. The throne was not happy about the Irish and frankly wanted their land and resources so they starved the Irish thus making it genocide.

Crash Course, could you guys do Chinese history when the US history series is done? The one episode from world history was not nearly enough in your own words. Such a foreign history was never even available at my university for study, and I hunger to know more. Besides, think of all the opportunities to mention those exceptional Mongols!
