1840s-1850s to now(CONTINUITY)

Asian immigration, like Chinese, due to California and other gold rushes; by 1852, about 20K Chinese lived in California

Continuity & Change-Cities in the Gilded Age

Before-pre-Civil War, different social classes lived in the cities together After-wealthy & middle class moved out of city to suburbs, & could come in for entertainment, unlike the converse structure of European cities; working poor lived in the cities

Exodus of 1879/Exoduster Movement

mass migration of Southern blacks due to oppression(Jim Crow Laws, for example) after the Compromise of 1877; in 1870s, up to 40K moved to Kansas mainly, or Oklahoma & Colorado

Exoduster Movement Results

Kansas-success as urban domestic servants or trade workers; homesteaders failed because railroads took all the good farming land already, and stayed in destitution

Kansas Freedmen's Relief Association founded Colored Relief Board founded

northern & western EU, British Isles, Germany, Scandinavia; mostly Protestant, but some were Irish & German Catholics; mostly Englishs peaking, high literacy+occupational skills→blended easily into rural society

southern & eastern EU, Italian, Greek, Croat, Slovak, Pole, Russian; many poor, illiterate, left autocratic countries, Roman Catholic, Orthodox, Jewish→ethnic enclaves on arrival, 25% birds of passage

Young men who returned home once they saved up enough money

Neighborhoods where those of the same ethnicity gathered, showing how cities could be cultural centers

Ethnic enclaves had stores that sold food similar to that in their homeland, creating familiarity in the urban culture

Hastily and poorly constructed buildings where working poor lived, where diseases like cholera spread easily

Ethnic Footprints, Exampels

Irish-made Catholic Churches Eastern European Jews-made synagogues
