western Europe, mainly between 1849 and 1920
About 25 million people immigrated to the USA.

THE TRIP How The trip was a long journey
with uncomfortable conditions. Steerage was the
class that most traveled in because it was
inexpensive. The trip was crowded and took up to
3 months.

native countries for very important reasons.
Some left to escape religious persecution,
famine, political corruption, bad economy, etc.
Some left just to get a better chance here in
America.
