B. Extended Response:

The “new” immigrants, primarily arriving from Eastern and Southern Europe, as well as Asia, during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, differed from the “old” immigrants who primarily came from Northern and Western Europe in several ways.

Firstly, the “new” immigrants often arrived from countries with different languages, religions, and cultural practices. For example, many came from Catholic and Orthodox Christian backgrounds, which contrasted with the predominantly Protestant backgrounds of earlier waves of immigrants. The newcomers were also more likely to settle in urban areas and seek industrial jobs, as opposed to the agricultural labor that many of the “old” immigrants pursued.

In terms of similarities, both groups faced challenges in adapting to life in America, including economic hardship and social discrimination. They often sought community support through ethnic neighborhoods and religious institutions. Additionally, both “old” and “new” immigrants contributed to the economic growth of the United States through their labor and cultural diversity, helping to shape a multicultural society.

Overall, while the backgrounds and challenges differed, both groups shared a common experience of seeking better opportunities and striving to create a new life in America.
