Between 1865 and 1915, 25 million people came from. different countries to live in the United States. Most of the immigrants came from Britain, Germany, and Ireland. The United States came to be known as the "Nation of Immigrants" because of the large number of people coming from different countries.
The people that came to America from other countries must have been very determined to create a new life for themselves and to be successful. I believe that the values and beliefs of the people that migrated here several years ago still have a significant impact on the way we live today.
