Chapter 6

U.S.A. national

Section 1
1.Industry and technology supply jobs, and people looking for work go where there is a big demand for workers will go where they have the best chance at getting a job, and they bring their families with them. People will also avoid living in an area that is too hot, too cold, too wet, or too dry, and prefer to be in an area with a mild climate such as the west coast or the northeastern seaboard.

2. Four cultural elements influenced by the immigrant roots of the United States are language, religion, music, and education.

creative writing: All throughout United States history, there have been immigrants and settlers coming to escape discrimination, seek freedom, or a better economy. These next paragraphs might tell what life was like for a young female settler in 1845 coming to the United States for the first time, and her life afterwards.
  As she comes into New York Harbor, Charline is pushed back and forth between men and women and children, all from countries other than hers, as they rush to the vessel's windows for a view of the shoreline. Clutching her husband's arm, the twenty-year-old woman goes with the cround onto the top deck, in hopes of seeing their year-long destination, Ellis Island. When the ferry docks in the shadow of the enormous Ellis Island Immigration Building, and the ferrymen set up the plank, a steady stream of people sets foot onto solid American ground. Tears and a smile erupt on Charline's face, as well as her husband's. They wait long, cruelly anxious hours in line for their medical examination, immigrant papers, work grants and finally, finally, they meet again on the last stairwell of the building. They've made it. but many others were not as lucky. Broken families weep as their loved ones are kept inside for reasons sometimes not understood - diseases identified by speciallist doctors, a violent record back home, or not enough money on hand. The young couple feels sudenly guilty for the smiles on their faces, but they rush past the crying and mourning people to join the next ferry to the main land, to New York.
  Years past, and Charline, thirty and a mother of four children, lives with her husband in Detroit. the flour mill allows both male and female workers, and so while charline and her husband work, their neighbors, and close friends watch their chldren as well as their own. After four years of savings, and when their eldest three children are working, and the youngest is in college on a schollarship, Charline and her husband decide to move to California to join the Gold Rush. Unfortunately, when they get there a year later on covered wagons, all of the easy gold is gone. But the ecconomy is cheaper, and they decide to stay. While Charline becomes a seamstress, and her husband a banker, and their income is steady, taxes are high, because of the Civil War. 
  Charline was aging from stress. Both of her sons had joined the union army, one, who had a wife and child, had quit his job at a quarry, and the other had dropped out of law school. Her daughters stayed out of fighting, but one confided through a letter that she was a nurse at one of the union camps. When the war subsided, Charline, 40, would pace restlessly, awaiting her children's letters of how they, had survied the war, or how they had saved the lives of countless men, or something great. Only two of her children sent those letters. As greif filled her heart at the loss of her youngest child, Charline lived her life monocramatically. When she fell ill at age seventy, in the year 1895, she cried for her son, and when she lay on her deathbed, surrounded by her frail husband, and her surviving children, she smiled, for she would see him once again. She would see her old country, her childhood friends, her Detriot friends, her family.

Canada's national flag

Section 2
1. Two economical factors that encouraged the growth of Canada's western population are the aquiring of land from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and from the arctic to the United States, and also when gold was discovered in the Klondike province, sparking the Klondike Gold Rush.

2. Canada's religious practices and languages reflect the immigrant history of the county because the languages spoken by the provinces of the country are French and English, which reflect the stuggle between Great Britain settlers, and French settlers, and six main religions make up most of Canada's population, and all of them come from all around the world.

creative writing: If the american colonies had not separated from great britain, then canada would have become a French country, and would be much smaller, population wise, because one million British people would not have immigrated to Canada.
