To avoid war and famine

Many immigrants came to the United Sataes in the 1830s to 1920s for many reasons. One of them was The Political Unrest in Germany. Another was the Irish famines in 1845 and 1880. Also, in 1880, Germany had a Military Draft that many Germans were mad about. There was a HUGE amount of immigrants from everywhere in 1908 when the U.S. had an industrial Expansion. These are only a few reaons why immigrants came to the U.S. in the 1800s.

The main reason immigrants came to the United States was opportunity. The United States was growing and with that came new opportunities to have a better life. The United States became a new frontier waiting to be discovered. It was also an age of exploration and invention. People had the freedom to be individuals and become successful, another reason many migrated towards the U.S.
