The influx of immigrants before 1900 created an awareness of ethnic and class differences in several ways. Firstly, the sheer number of immigrants coming to the United States during this time period led to increased diversity in cities and communities. This diversity brought different languages, customs, and traditions, making it impossible to ignore the presence of various ethnic groups.
Secondly, the immigrants often settled in specific neighborhoods or areas, forming ethnic enclaves. These enclaves became centers of cultural and social activity for specific immigrant groups, further highlighting the differences between them and the existing population.
Additionally, the influx of immigrants also led to competition for jobs and resources, which in turn heightened class differences. Many immigrants took on low-paying, labor-intensive jobs, leading to the perception of them as a lower class within society.
Overall, the influx of immigrants before 1900 forced Americans to confront and acknowledge the existence of different ethnic and class groups within their society, leading to a greater awareness and understanding of these differences.
