Thousand of immigrants found work on the transcontinental railroad, setting in towns along the way. Word of the California Gold Rush had spread around the world, drawing immigrants from both Asia and Europe.
Although many new immigrants came in pursuits of a dream, nearly all the Irish immigrants from the 1840’s and 1850’s came to scape a nightmare a devastating famine back home .( …) The Great Hunger would leave 1.5 million dead, and just as many would flee to América.
The Irish weren’t the only newcomers. Rapid population growth changes in land distribution, and industrialization had stripped many European peasants and artisans of their livelihoods. Departing from Liverpool and Hamburg, they came in through the major Eastern ports , and New Orleans. Chinese immigrants began to arrive in the 1850’s , entering through San Francisco.
