A New World

It was very disruptingto pack and break up your

home. Oh, we tookclothing and some pieces of

chinaa blanket or two also that were real good

wool, that we felt maybe we may not be able to get

here in the United States.

Emma Greiner

It was 1925. Eleven-year-old Emma Greiner and her

twelve-year-old brother, William, traveled to the United

States from Italy. Their father had immigrated about five

years earlier, and he missed them a lot. Emma and William

had their aunts and each other. But they were about to

leave behind a lifetime of memories.

Early twentiethcentury immigrants

wait to enter the United States.

For hundreds of years, people from

around the world have done just that. They

have moved to the United States seeking

freedom and better lives. The risks can

be great, and the journey can be difficult.

Success isnt guaranteed. But people still

hope for better lives when they make the

brave and life-changing move.

Whats the Difference?

The terms emigrant and immigrant

are not the same. The term

emigrant is used to describe

someone who moves away from

a country. For example, people

can emigrate from the United

States to other countries. The

term immigrant is used to

describe someone who moves

to a new country, such as a

person immigrating to the

United States from a different

country. Both terms have

migrant as their base, which

means one who moves.

The early twentieth century saw a flood of

immigration to the United States. Between

1880 and 1930, more than 27 million people

made the tough journey. These people

shaped the countrys languages, traditions,

politics, and economy . If they had not made

the United States their home, the country

would look very different today. Those

people changed the United States forever.

A group of modernday immigrants

become U.S. citizens.

A Changing Nation

A Global Empire

The Russian Empire

existed for nearly

two hundred years. It

was absolutely massive.

The empire covered about

onesixth of all land on

Earth. At its peak, the

Russian Empire covered

much of Europe, Asia, and

even part of North America.

The empire finally broke up

in 1917.

Changing Laws

In 1921, the U.S. government

passed the Emergency Quota

Act. This act set quotas, or limits,

on the number of immigrants

allowed into the country each

year. This law was a response to

the increasing number of new

immigrants, specifically Jewish

immigrants. Their quotas were

much lower than those of other

immigrant groups. This racist law

stayed in place until 1965.

Most early twentieth-century immigrants to the

East Coast were from southern and eastern European

countries. In earlier years, most people had come

from countries in western and northern Europe,

such as Ireland and Germany. Now, millions

of people moved from places like Italy and the

Russian Empire. These people were called new
