Question

Describe how immigrant labor was used in American growth and development in the 19th century. Compare/Contrast the two entry points to the country.

Answer 1

Low-skilled newcomers were supplied labor for industrialization, and higher-skilled arrivals helped spur innovations in agriculture and manufacturing.
