Next Issue Articles Mobilizing Women, Anticipating Abolition: The Struggle against Indian Removal in the 1830s The unsuccessful campaign against the Indian Removal Act of 1830, Mary Hershberger argues, had great significance in the histories of American women and American reform movements. The proposed law generated mass opposition that created new forms of political protest and nearly defeated the bill. Young people flocked to the campaign. Some opponents defied state removal measures and went to prison in protest. To defeat removal, women created their first national petition drive, which drew many otherwise traditional women into public political activity. Though the bill passed and removal proceeded, opponents of removal drew on their experience to change the focus and methods of the antislavery movement: They decisively rejected colonization in favor of immediate abolition, determined to prevent what they perceived as a second unjust removal.

    Extractions: As a nation of immigrants, the United States has also been a nation of nativists. At times we have offered, in Tom Paine's words, "an asylum for the persecuted lovers of civil and religious liberty" from all parts of the world. At other times Americans have done the persecutingpassing discriminatory laws against the foreign-born, denying their fundamental rights, and assaulting them with mob violence, even lynchings. We have welcomed immigrants in periods of expansion and optimism, reviled them in periods of stagnation and cynicism. Our attitudes have depended primarily on domestic politics and economics, secondarily on the volume and characteristics of the newcomers. In short, American nativism has had less to do with "them" than us. Fear and loathing of foreigners reach such levels when the nation's problems become so intractable that some people seek scapegoats. Typically, these periods feature a political or economic crisis, combined with a loss of faith in American institutions and a sense that the national community is gravely fractured. Hence a yearning for social homogeneity that needs an internal enemy to sustain itself: the "alien." Nativists' targets have reflected America's basic divisions: class, race, religion, and, to a lesser extent, language and culture. Yet each anti-immigrant cycle has its own dynamics.

    A Select Bibliography of Works Norwegianamerican immigration and Local history.Compiled by Lee V. Douglas, Reference Specialist Research Guide No. 6  
    http://www.loc.gov/rr/genealogy/bib_guid/norway.html
    
    Extractions: Research Guide No. 6 Jump to: Introduction Norwegian migration to North American began on July 4, 1825, with the sailing of the sloop Restauration from Stavanger bound for New York City. From that beginning to the present, Norwegians and Norwegian Americans have scrupulously documented the migration movement, the lives of the immigrants, and the development of their settlements. This documentation takes the form of parish registers, ships' manifests, publication in Norwegian newspapers of lists of emigrants, personal memoirs, letters from America, and book-length histories of the new settlements. In addition, immigrants from various towns, valleys, and fjords maintained contact in their new country through regional societies that published newsletters, held periodic reunions, and disseminated information on members' places of residence, professions, marriages and new births. Norwegian Americans' pride in their considerable influence on American life has led to the publication of lists and entire dictionaries of biographical and genealogical information on thousands of individuals. Martin Ulvestad's work, published in 1907 and based on 450,000 questionnaires sent out to Norwegians in America, and Thoralv Klaveness' work detailing his epic journey through immigrant settlements for the sole purpose of writing down their histories are examples of Norwegian-Americans' interest in documentation.

    Extractions: The University of North Carolina at Charlotte Immigration reached its historical peak in the Gilded Age and Progressive Era (GAPE), as almost twelve million immigrants entered the U.S. between 1890 and 1910. Most historians of immigration refer to the years including the GAPE as the years of "the new immigration," distinguishing this migration of southern and eastern Europeans (and, to much lesser extent, Mexicans and Asians) from the "old immigration" of northern and western Europeans and Chinese of the years 1850-1880. Laws severely restricting immigration cut off this new immigration between 1917 and 1924. Even today's immigrationwhich developed after revision of U.S. policy in 1965has not surpassed the relative, absolute, or demographic impact of the new immigration of the GAPE. Thus, any student of the GAPE, and any teacher of GAPE surveys or specialized topics, needs to keep the theme of immigration within her purview.

    Extractions: American Jewish Immigration American Jewish history is characterized by three waves of immigrants from three different parts of Europe. The economic, social and religious mores of the three groups were distinct from one another. Following the spread of the Inquisition to the New World, the first Jews in the United States came from Portuguese-ruled Brazil. In 1654, twenty-three adult Spanish-Portuguese (Sephardic) Jews arrived in New Amsterdam. The environment they found there was scarcely hospitable. In 1655, more Jews arrived from Holland. Nine years later, the British took over what would become New York and the situation regarding freedom of worship improved from that time. In colonial times, Jews settled along the Atlantic coast and in several southern states. During the 17th century, Rhode Island was the only New England colony which allowed a permanent Jewish community. That settlement was in Newport, where the Touro Synagogue, built in 1773, still stands as a memorial to the patriot and philanthropist Judah Touro. Other early Spanish-Portuguese Jewish communities were established in Charleston, South Carolina, and Savannah, Georgia. The Philadelphia congregation (Congregation Mikveh Israel) was organized about 1745. The Richmond community was established after the Revolution.

Most Chinese immigrants came to San Francisco where they developed a Chinese American community and made an effort to join the city's political and cultural life. In the 1850s they participated in festivities celebrating California’s admission into the Union and in the Fourth of July Parade. Chinese Americans also preserved their own cultural traditions. They celebrated the lunar New Year in the traditional way. In 1852 the first performance of Cantonese opera was held and the first Chinese theatre building completed. Two Chinese-language newspapers began publishing. Associations The Kong Chow Association was the first Chinese organization established. In 1849 Norman As-sing, a prominent merchant, became the leader of the Chew Yick Association and served as an interpreter. Tong K. Achick arrived in 1851 and founded the Yeong Wo Association. Later, he and As-sing were rivals for leadership of the Chinese American community in San Francisco. Immigration A series of wars, rebellions, civil disorders, floods, famines and droughts made earning a livelihood in China difficult. When China tried to cut off the British importation of opium, they suffered a devastating defeat by the British in the Opium War of 1840. When news of the discovery of gold reached China, many Chinese immigrated to California from Kuangtung Province.

Having fought for independence from Mexico, the Republic of Texas later claims land in parts of Colorado, Kansas, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Wyoming. After repeatedly petitioning Congress for annexation, Texas finally is admitted to the Union as a slave state. Approval is managed by annexing land as far south and west as the Rio Grande. Texas is the 28th state. The U.S. declares war on Mexico after provoking a skirmish in disputed territory along the Rio Grande. Mexico surrenders after the U.S. occupies Mexico City for nine months. the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo cedes Mexican territory in the Southwest for a sum of $15 million. It promises to respect the property rights of Mexicans living in the territory and allow them to become U.S. citizens (while giving up their Mexican citizenship).

    Extractions: Pre-requisites: AMS1600 or equivalent This Module is also cross-accredited to History and to Race and Culture Rationale and Aims: No other modern nation has experienced immigration of the same scale, duration and diversity as the United States. Immigration is one of the central themes of American history. The aim of this module is to trace the history of immigration to America from the colonial period to the present day. Within this chronological framework, the module explores certain perennial issues and problems of immigration and ethnicity in America, such as the causes of emigration; the concept of the "settler" as distinct from the immigrant; the reception of immigrants; the role of cultural assimilation; the survival of homeland nationalist and ethnicity; anti immigrant feeling (or "nativism") and the implications of mass immigration for the construction of an "American" identity. Content: Lectures and seminars involving small-group discussion and oral presentations covering such topics as the European settlement and the emergence of American ethnic sensibilities; immigration and nation building in the nineteenth century; immigration and industrialisation; assimilation versus separatism. Net resources are extremely varied in their quality, but this is even more the case where the subject of ethnicity and immigration are concerned. To a very large extent, the resources available on the net reflect the extent to which a community has taken an interest in its own history in America. Consequently, there is plenty of material on Japanese internment (a reflection of the trauma the event caused) and on Jewish Americans, whose assimilation into American culture has been a history of fierce public battles and which has moved from a belief in accommodation and invisibility to a belief that publicity is a form of protection. In contrast, although there are a number of web sites by Irish Americans, these tend to orient themselves towards Irish history and nostalgia and do not offer very much insight into the experience of the Irish as immigrants.

    Extractions: It is vital in all cultural life to maintain a link between the present and the past.
