A History of American Immigration: 1820-1924 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781025714042)

"A History of American Immigration, 1820-1924" provides a comprehensive scholarly analysis of the century-long movement of people to the United States. George M. Stephenson meticulously traces the various waves of migration from Europe and Asia, examining the socioeconomic drivers that prompted millions to cross the Atlantic and Pacific. The work offers an in-depth look at how these diverse populations influenced the American landscape and how the nation responded to their arrival.

The text covers the evolution of public opinion and political action, culminating in the restrictive legislation of the early 1920s. By analyzing the background of various immigrant groups and the domestic pressures of the era, Stephenson provides a foundational understanding of the complex relationship between national identity and migration. This study emphasizes the historical significance of the years between 1820 and 1924 as the era that largely shaped the modern American demographic profile. It serves as a crucial resource for those interested in the history of the United States, social movements, and the development of federal immigration law.
