- Notes:
- As a "nation of immigrants," Americans have produced persuasive maps addressing the issues of immigration and nationality over most of the country's lifetime. The collection includes a number of these maps published since the 1840s. Some are welcoming, encouraging, and provide advice to immigrants. Some assert that the diversity of our nationalities is a source of strength for the country. And yet others attack immigrants in general, or specific ethnic or religious immigrant groups, particularly Asians, Catholics, and Jews. For the range of these maps, Search > "immigration.”
ID ##2106.03 and 2106.04 detail the history of U.S. immigration. The graphs associated with this map show the ebb and flow of immigrants to the U.S. from various countries, 1840-1905.
See also ID #2106.01, which illustrates the territorial expansion of the U.S., along with a variety of political information in graphic format.
