Migration:
Beginning tens of thousands of years ago, people migrated to North America and the land that now makes up the United States. In the 16th century, new groups made the journey, coming from Europe, Africa, and Asia. Today, people continue to arrive in large numbers from every part of the globe.
Regardless of when they journeyed, they left their homelands as "emigrants" in search of new opportunities and freedoms. They arrived as "immigrants," who worked, struggled, and adapted to a new world. |
