The picture above shows immigrants traveling on a ship to America from their native country. It must have been really frustrating being crowded in with all of those other immigrants. I am sure that many of these people were also really scared and anxious about going to a new country as well. I choose this photo because it shows an overall idea of how many immigrants there were on each ship and just how crowded everyone was. It also depicts the idea of how many immigrants were immigrating into America per day. The map below shows the paths that the immigrants were taking to get from their homeland to America. As you can see, the main source of immigrants was Europe. Not may Asians or Africans (other than slaves) immigrated here during that time.
