Hst. 2425: “Coming to America”, U.S. Immigration History
Midterm Questions, Due-Date, Week of July 15th
Summer (B), 2020
A. Two of the following three essay choices will be submitted via email. Several rules govern your
essay writing. First, if you quote or paraphrase readings or lectures, make sure to provide a simple
source citation within the text of your writing. You are expected to use the testimonies from the
assigned website readings as illustrations or examples of your main points. Additionally, you will use
five terms listed below in each of your essays; underline them as you use them. Two to three pages
for each essay, double-spaced.
Terms: Americanization; “asylum theme”; indenturers; American “Wake”; “push”/”pull”/”passage”;
ethnicity; nativism; assimilation; “Great Famine”; Federalist Party; Know Nothing Party;
Homestead Act, 1862; Immigration Restriction League; “hyphenates”; three primary waves of
immigration.
Question Choices:
1. Many immigrants came to America as “indenturers”. Their experiences, however, would vary
considerably depending on their origin and circumstance, where they settled, and what they faced after
having worked off the terms of their contracts. Your task is first to explain what being “indentured”
meant. For example, the first Africans to be brought to America were originally considered
“indentured”. Yet their fate would be very different from the whites who also came as “indentured”.
(Dinnerstein goes to considerable length to show the evolution of the concept of “slavery” in the
American colonies.) What did being indentured mean to those who settled in Virginia and the southern
colonies, versus those who came as indentured and settled in the northern colonies? Finally, use
testimonies for each of the groups of immigrants you present.
2. Define the differences in the “push”, “passage”, and “pull” factors of three different immigrant
groups which come to America between 1607 and 1830? Use testimonies from the various websites
provided in the first weeks of readings which illustrate individuals from these groups. Also, are there any
testimonies which present how the resident Anglo-Americans feel about subsequent groups which came
to America , especially after the Revolution? (For example, what does Benjamin Franklin think about
German immigrants and their presence in Pennsylvania?)
3. When we reach the 1840s, we see the arrival of two new large groups of immigrants. First are the
Germans who will move through the East Coast and settle in the Midwest. Then the Irish will also come
at this same time. Unlike the Germans, however, the Irish will settle in cities along the East Coast of the
country. Your job is to describe what makes these two groups so different from one another. Why are
the Irish so different from other groups that have arrived by this time period? In the readings, what are
some of the “native” American fears being presented over the Irish presence in America? And by the
way, who is Maria Monk? Once again, use testimonies.
