Detailed explanation-1: -” Old immigrants were primarily from Northwestern European countries such as Germany, Ireland, England, and France. Immigrants from this time period were similar in many ways.
Detailed explanation-2: -Between 1870 and 1900, the largest number of immigrants continued to come from northern and western Europe including Great Britain, Ireland, and Scandinavia. But “new” immigrants from southern and eastern Europe were becoming one of the most important forces in American life.
Detailed explanation-3: -Unlike earlier immigrants, who mainly came from northern and western Europe, the “new immigrants” came largely from southern and eastern Europe. Largely Catholic and Jewish in religion, the new immigrants came from the Balkans, Italy, Poland, and Russia.
Detailed explanation-4: -The so-called “old immigration” brought thousands of Irish and German people to the New World. This time, although those groups would continue to come, even greater ethnic diversity would grace America’s populace. Many would come from Southern and Eastern Europe, and some would come from as far away as Asia.
