Use only the sources that will be provided by me. Please read information carefully. Your task in this assignment is to make and support a single assertion about European immigration before 1920. Your primary sources should be the charts and tables handed out in class, Addams, Riis and any of the material on the �Urban Experience� web site. (The charts The assertion should be simple, straightforward and clear and should be easily illustrated with data and supported with other primary documents. For example, you might assert that social reformers were drawn into the problems of immigration because immigrants were overwhelmingly concentrated in poor, crowded neighborhoods. Census data showing the rise of the �foreign born� in cities and shifts in immigration from rural to urban areas would support this assertion. You might also use Addams �income maps� to illustrate the concentration of poverty on the west side of Chicago. You might assert that the shifting patterns of immigration alarmed Americans because of the overall increase in the number of immigrants but also a change in the �sending nations� from Europe: Americas felt overwhelmed by the number of immigrants coming to the US at the turn of the century. They also reacted to the fact that immigrants from Southern and Eastern Europe were coming in larger numbers than those from Northern Europe. This marked a significant shift in European migration in the 19th century. This paper: � Must use census data or other numerical tabulations that reflect European immigration to the US; � should use other primary sources from the era (Riis, Addams, etc) to illustrate a single problem or issue that arose as the result of European migration; -� may use Daniels as a secondary source to support your assertion; Rules of Engagement: � Double space, one inch margins, page numbers on the top or bottom right hand side of the paper; header in the top right hand corner of the first page with your name, title of the paper, class and due date. � Please proofread your work carefully. � Please cite all information according to the style guide and include a bibliography of individual sources.
