CKLA Knowledge: Immigration

Students explore the idea of e pluribus unum and the importance of immigration in the history of the United States—with a focus on the great wave of immigration between 1850 and 1920. They learn reasons why people immigrate and why they settle in certain cities and regions. In learning about citizenship, students are introduced to basic knowledge about the Constitution, including the Bill of Rights.
