Publisher's Synopsis
Each book in Primary Sources of Immigration and Migration in America paints a vivid picture for students of the varied histories of the people that make up the United States of America. These books take a unique approach on telling the history of the United States from the global perspective of the different immigrant groups that came here. What events were the catalysis for them to come? What impact did they have on the events that were unfolding in America once they got here? All of these questions and more will be answered through primary source imagery, documents, and clear, engaging text. Not everyone who came to America and who had a significant impact on the world we know today arrived by choice. In this book, students will learn what life was like for these forced immigrants to a hostile land. They will also learn how these enslaved people held on to their dignity and traditions against all odds, under the worst possible conditions. All this is illustrated through compelling primary source imagery and documents.
