Answer:
The United States is an immigrant country. No other land can challenge America’s claim as the ultimate melting pot, although we can argue about whether or not we have really "melted together" to form a cohesive society.
Immigrants have always been a part of the American scene, but in some periods more people have come than in others. Currently, immigration is a hot topic as many immigrants are coming from countries such as Somalia, Laos and Mexico. This course will focus on another period when many immigrants were coming to the United States, from 1840-1920.
