In the Shoes of an Irish Immigrant

Consider the following:

You are an Irish immigrant fleeing crushing poverty to find prosperity for you and your family in New York. You speak both English and Irish and follow the Roman Catholic faith. While it was relatively easy immigrating to the United States, you are surprised by the amount of discrimination you face because of your ethnicity and religion. Eventually, you get a job at a factory making just enough to get by. If you speak out against the conditions at your factory, you may get fired and if you become politically active, there may be further hardships imposed upon you. How would you react to being placed in this situation?

Also, respond to what two other individuals. One response should be supportive while the other should discourage the course of action taken by your fellow classmate. When responding to your fellow classmates, any form of cyber-bullying or inappropriate commenting will be grounds for an automatic zero.

Your initial answer should be at least one paragraph (5-8 sentences) while your subsequent responses should be at least 2 complete sentences.

About 900,000 white settlers moved west of the Appalachians between 1790 and 1810.

The settlers ignored treaties that the United States had signed with American Indian nations of the region.

Westward Movement

English colonists began moving west almost as soon as they arrived in America in the 1600s. Westward expansion quickly became a tradition that helped define the nation.

Settling Oregon Country

By the 1820s, white settlers occupied much of the land between the Appalachians and the Mississippi River. Until this time, those lands were considered “the West.” However, families searching for good farmland continued to move even farther west. In front of them were the Great Plains that stretched to the Rockies. Few settlers stopped on the plains, which were considered too dry for farming. Instead, most settlers headed to lands in the Far West. The movement to this distant region changed the meaning of the West for Americans. Now, it stretched all the way to the Pacific coast.
