Immigration Waves and Transformational Change in 19th Century America

The 19th century saw a significant influx of immigrants from West Europe, notably during the Irish Potato Famine, leading to growth in industries like agriculture and textiles fueled by innovations such as the McCormick Reaper and the Erie Canal. This period also marked the rise of reform movements inspired by the Second Great Awakening, with figures like Charles Finney and Joseph Smith advocating for social change and self-improvement. While some experienced prosperity, Native Americans faced hardships like the Trail of Tears. Evolving political dynamics ushered in the era of Jacksonian democracy and Manifest Destiny, culminating in events like the Mexican-American War and the California Gold Rush.
