Immigration to the USA -> Waves of immigration: Reasons and Goals

Hi guys,

today after making a quick recap of what we had said before, we continued talking about immigration to the USA and why people used to leave their country to live the American Dream.

Here is the chart we have begun to draw, the lesson that goes with it as well as the vocabulary:

 

-> From 1840 to 1860, Western Europeans went to the USA because they didn't have jobs. There was a high rate of unemployement in Europe. The Irish in particular wanted to escape famine and to have better lives.

Reminder:

Goal ==== To
Ex : They wanted to immigrate to flee / escape / run away from the war.

Reasons === Because (of)
Ex : They immigrated to the US because their country was destroyed.

Additional vocabulary: 

"to be written by Stacy"
