| Abstract | From the Introduction: Why did people leave their homes and travel to a strange new land? Why did they leave their family and friends forever? Why did they say goodbye to their native villages and farms, where their families might have lived for hundreds of years? Why did they leave the glittering cities of Europe in order to come to a raw, new land? This book will answer questions like these. It shows what made people dissatisfied and rootless. It tells of their troubles. It describes the problems that swept through Europe in the nineteenth century. It tells what drove them from their homes and set in motion the great migration across the Atlantic Ocean to America. |
