Unit 9-Immigration & Urbanization

ACT EOC C.1.d; C.1.e; C.1.f

European and Asian immigrants arrived in the United States in great numbers during the late 1800s. Providing cheap labor, they made rapid industrial growth possible. They also helped populate the growing cities. The immigrants' presence affected both urban politics and labor unions. Segregation also grew in the late 1800s as many Southern states passed laws that defined African Americans the right to vote and imposed segregation in many communities.
