The Indians were forced to move a place where they didn't want to and were told to leave or die.
Rank 7: Immigrants.
The second lowest in my rank which fared low was Immigrants. The flow of Immigration to the United States dramatically increased during the mid 18th century through the early 19th century. The immigrants that were known up until 1880 were often known as "Old Immigrants". These people were mainly from the British Isles, Germany, and Scandinavia. The population of the "Old Immigrants" made up 80 percent of the newcomers in the U.S, the other 20 percent were mostly people known as "New Immigrants". These people came to the U.S from southern and eastern Europe (Italy, Poland, Austria-Hungry, Russia). The attraction of immigrants to the United States during this time period was mainly because of overpopulation, famine, and disease. Many to most of the immigrants that had migrated to the U.S mainly went to large cities. This was because of the many jobs and chance of a better future during this time of industrialization. The immigrants that migrated to the large cities mainly lived in places known as "inner cities", also known as "slums". The slums mainly contained unpaved streets, garbage, no toilets, high rents, converted factories to houses, and were also very cluttered and small. Many inner cities were separated by their own ethnic groups and where their families were. This group fares second to last because of the lack of housing and the extreme poverty during that time. The Immigrants had to work for almost nothing just to live. Whole families had to work for wages that were close to nothing just to make it in this new land.
Rank 6: Migrants to the West.
Number six on my list is the Migrants to the West. During 1965- 1890 there was rapid settlement of the Great Plains. After the Civil war, there still existed a vast amount of land untouched by non-Indian settlers. Between the Missouri River and California there lay plains, mountains, and desert ready for development.
