Immigration In The US Colonial Era

Uploaded by : Essays-Now.com

20 pages in length. Immigration - a critical component of America's infrastructure - is the very backbone of a country comprised of a multicultural character heretofore unknown by the global community. It is not surprising to find, therefore, how the United States suffered through some tremendous growing pains throughout its Founding Era and particularly during the US Constitutional Convention period whereby immigration trends - also known as colonization - became the focal point of which direction America would ultimately take in her development. Outlining immigration trends during the colonial period as well as opposition/support for immigration, this paper will pay specific attention to the feelings and writings of America's founding fathers as they set forth the image they perceived and sought for this country.
