To an unusual extent, the United States is a nation of immigrants. Readers will encounter the waves of immigrants who made this land their home. Along with those who came seeking freedom and opportunity, the book also addresses the many slaves from Africa who became unwilling immigrants. Recent and present-day immigration are also emphasized. Historical and current photos, a map, and an illustrated timeline celebrate America’s rich immigrant heritage.
