Answer 1

Immigrants from both periods established their own neighborhoods in major American cities.

Both the "old" (mid-1800s, mostly Northern and Western Europeans) and "new" (late-1800s, mostly Southern and Eastern Europeans) immigrants formed ethnic enclaves (e.g., Little Italy, Chinatown, German neighborhoods) where they shared language, culture, churches, and mutual aid.
