Early Immigration

Question 4 • LPS US History I (CR) - MP1

Between 1820 and 1850, which factors affected European immigration to America?

Answer
A
New laws restricted the arrival of immigrants from Russia.
B
New laws restricted the arrival of immigrants from Italy.
C
It became easier and cheaper to immigrate to the United States.
D
It became less expensive for all immigrants to buy property in the US.

Explanation

During this period, improvements in transportation—especially faster, more reliable ships—made the journey to the United States easier and less expensive. The United States did not pass laws in this period specifically restricting immigrants from Russia or Italy, and property did not become less expensive for all immigrants. The correct choice is “It became easier and cheaper to immigrate to the United States.”
