The Benefits of Migration & The Costs of Assimilation (TEST)
Benefits of migrating to America from Italy 1880-1924
Millions of Italians made the decision to come to America from the late 18th century to the early 19th century. Some reasons the same, others unique. They all had one thing in common though. That was the need for success. Frank Sinatra is an example of a successful Italian immigrant, although he was a musician and actor and not of the working class like most immigrants.
Italians came to America to achieve what they had heard so much about; the American dream. During this time in Italy, the people of the country were facing hardships of poverty, politics, disease, crop viruses, and so much more. These people were seeking an escape from the hardships of their own country and were willing to face the new hardships in America. They wanted to reap the benefits America had to offer, regardless of what they would have to go through. In this section, I will discuss the main benefits of Italian migration to America.
