For the most part, immigrants from about 1850 to 1950 lived in major cities in crowded and unsanitary apartments. They worked 12 hours a day in factories and on farms for such low wages that even the children were often put to work. They faced ethnic and religious discrimination as well as difficulties with the English language.
