By the end of the 1800s, there was a change in the nature of the immigrants coming to the United States. Immigration from Northern Europe-England, Ireland, Germany, and Scandinavia-declined, while immigration
from Italy, Russia and Austria-Hungary grew. In fact, between 1900 and 1910, more than three-fourths of all
immigrants came from these three countries. Unfortunately, these countries were far removed England, the
home of our founders, and the immigrants who came from them were unfamiliar with England's language and
Eraditions.

could not fit in with Americans.
The founders of America came from England, but later immigrants came from other European countries and
therefore did not belong in the United States.
