- 91: Immigrants 2
- ... of many European towns declined as a result of the Industrial Revolution. Farmers and local craftspeople often could not compete with the technology and the mass production of the cities. Many of these farming families lived on tiny plots of land that barely provided the foodstuffs they needed to survive. As a result, more people competed for fewer resources, such as land, food, and jobs. Another common reason for emigration was Political and Religious Persecution in Eastern Europe. Many of these eastern Europeans, the majority Jewish, lived in a Russian-controlled region known as the Jewish Pale of settlement.

In addition, the Russian government ... and riches, and of political and religious freedoms. Immigrants faced many hardships as they began their journey to America.

- 93: Segregation And The Civil Rights Movement
- ... constantly reminded blacks of their inferior status in Southern society. Segregation was an all encompassing system.
