The main cause of the great migration to the United States in the late 1800s and early 1900s was a combination of push and pull factors. Key push factors included poverty, political instability, and religious persecution in their home countries, particularly in Europe. Pull factors included the promise of economic opportunities, availability of jobs in industries and agriculture, and the hope for a better life in the United States. This migration was notably fueled by the availability of transportation, such as steamships, which made travel easier and more affordable.
