Immigrants who arrived in the United States in the late 1800s encountered various challenges as they sought to establish themselves in a new country. Firstly, language barriers posed a significant difficulty. Many immigrants did not speak English, making it challenging for them to communicate effectively, find employment, and navigate everyday situations such as shopping or accessing public services. Secondly, they often faced discrimination and prejudice due to their unfamiliar customs, religions, and appearances. This made it harder for them to assimilate into American society and hindered their opportunities for social and economic advancement. Finally, economic hardships were prevalent among immigrants as they struggled to find stable jobs with fair wages. Many had to take on low-paying jobs in harsh working conditions, experiencing poverty and overcrowded living conditions.
