Description: Yankeys Now by Joseph P. Ferrie Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description This book describes and explains the changes in location, occupation, and wealth of immigrants arriving in the first great wave of 19th century migration to the United States. Publisher Description The first great wave of European migration to the United States before the Civil War transformed both the migrants themselves and the country they entered. The extent of this transformation has been difficult to gauge without information on migrants before and after their departure from Europe. Yankeys Now: Immigrants in the Antebellum US 1840-1860 provides the first detailed look at how these immigrants were changed by their relocation and how the Americaneconomy responded to their arrival. The book employs unique data on more than 2,400 British, Irish, and German migrants who appeared on both passenger ship rosters and US census recordsto document the geographic, occupational, and financial movements of Europeans who traveled to this nation in the 1840s. Contrary to other studies of antebellum immigrants, Joseph P. Ferries work finds substantial mobility in all three of these contexts. The ability to follow immigrants from their arrival through several censuses makes it possible to compare the experiences of immigrants who remained in one location to those of immigrants who sought opportunity in new places throughout the1850s. The latter groups achievements, as carefully traced in this volume, account for most of the contrast with previously published work on this topic. Using information on more than 4,000 native-bornAmericans followed through the 1850 and 1860 US censuses, Ferrie finds little evidence that immigrants arrival negatively affected this countrys labor force, excluding craft workers in the urban northeast. Taken as a whole, his findings demonstrate the American economys ability to absorb additions to its workforce while also illustrating the range of opportunities available to nineteenth-century migrants drawn to the United States.
