In this video Heimler takes you through Unit 6 Topic 8 of the AP U.S. History curriculum which is set in period 6 (1865-1898).

During the Gilded Age, many people immigrated to America and migrated within America. The immigrants largely arrived from Europe (in the east) and Asia (in the west).

The east coast immigrants settled in industrial centers and took up industrial work for low wages while living in squalid tenements where diseases ran rampant. The west coast immigrants, the bulk of whom came from China, took up work on railroads.

When immigrants settled in these places, they found each other and created ethnic enclaves around their own cultural traditions.

The big migration movement during this period was the Exoduster Movement in which a big portion of the southern black population moved to the midwest to find work and establish homesteads.

If you have any questions, leave them below and Heimler shall answer forthwithly.

This video is aligned with the AP U.S. History Curriculum and Exam Description for Unit 6 Topic 8, and all the key concepts thereunto appertaining.
