Excerpt adapted from Telling All Americansâ Stories: Introduction to European Heritage
by National Park Service
In many ways, the story of America is the story of movementâthe unprecedented migration of people, ideas, and beliefs. The Statue of Liberty stands as perhaps the most iconic symbol of our nationâs largely immigrant past and its European heritage in particular.
Under the watchful gaze of this imposing monument, lives converged. Between 1892 and 1954, over 12 million immigrants passed through the processing facility on Ellis Island. Many of those people left homes across Europeâparticularly England, Ireland, the German and Russian empires, and Scandinavian countriesâto escape famine, political and economic oppression, or in search for greater opportunities in America.
Upon crossing Americaâs shores, European immigrants spread across the North American continent, altering its physical and cultural landscape along the way. These experiences are often told through the treasured European American narrative of the âmelting potââwhere diverse groups traveled to a âNew World,â where they peopled a nation and forged a uniquely American identity. However, these immigrants arrived on a continent already populated by indigenous nations who possessed their own complex political, economic, and cultural systems. The ensuing encounters between these diverse groups serve as some of the foundational moments in American history. The 1604â1607 maps and documents by Samuel de Champlain are testimony to the interactions between French explorers and the Native peoples living along the coast.
