Question 22 • LPS US History I (CR) - MP1

Which were two pull factors that led many European immigrants to America in both the 1600s and the early 1800s?

Answer
A
major famines and poverty
B
available land and economic opportunity
C
religious persecution and unfair treatment
D
available jobs and political problems

Explanation

Available land and the chance to improve their economic circumstances attracted European immigrants in both the 1600s and the early 1800s. Many hoped to own land, find work, or build a more prosperous life in America. Famines, poverty, and religious persecution were hardships pushing people away from Europe, rather than pull factors drawing them to America.
