 * iiNTRODUCTiON:**


 * The Promised Land is a memoir of immigrants and descendants (relatives) migrating to the United States and new beginnings. Immigrants were basically everyone in the U.S. but Native Americans. Most of those immigrants were European Colonists, English, Dutch, Irish, German, French, and Spanish. They came for a lot of reasons; better life than the one before, better education opportunities, freedom, a promise land that the streets were made of gold, and that getting rich was really easy. These immigrants that migrated were full with hope and when they arrived they realized that what they heard was not all true, because of the class system it was harder to get rich and took years to overcome the trials they had gone threw. The 1880's new immigrants from southern and eastern Europe were mostly of different ethnicity. They had come without knowing or understanding a single word of English, this era had changed the attitudes and thoughts of Americans especially because we still have millions legally and illegally every year at our borders waiting to get the chance to cross to the Promised Land.**
