What is New Wave of Immigrants in America about?

A new wave of immigrants arrived in the United States between 1880-1910, settling primarily in cities. These 18 million "new immigrants" mainly came from Southern and Eastern Europe rather than Northern and Western Europe, and included Catholics, Jews, and Orthodox Christians. Their arrival troubled some native-born Americans and led to a nativist movement opposing immigration. Nativists pushed for legislation like the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 and Literacy Test Act of 1917 to restrict immigration.
