Immigration

Well as you know throughout history there has been tons f people who have immigrated. You have the Chinese that came in the mid 1800's.

 Modernization and population growth forced many Germans from their respective family businesses. Also, modernization made immigrating more convenient and faster with inventions such as the steam boat and steam train. Many Germans took long, complicated, but cheap routes through Great Britain by way of train and boat to get to the United States. Most of the Germans that migrated lived on the countryside. Only about two fifths lived in cities with more then 25,000 People. Around the 1870 the German born farmers made up one third of the agriculture business in the region. Most of them immigrated because of the Civil unrest, and unemployment. "Most German immigrants were Protestants, with Lutheranism by far the most denomination; perhaps a third of German immigrants were Catholics, and around 250,000 were Jewish. With the Lutheran community in the United States there was considerable friction. Nineteenth-century German Lutheran immigrants found that the existing German Lutheran churches in the US had developed into what, to them, were unwelcome tendencies. Most had been Americanized enough so that English was used for all or part of their services"
