Opportunity -improvement in living conditions -get jobs -many immigrants from the same region formed a community -religious institutions helped immigrants maintain a sense of identity and belonging -benevolent societies helped immigrants in case of sickness, unemployment, and death

Description of the Picture A Jewish man who looks very dirty is holding the luggage on which the words "disease", "poverty", "anarchy" and "desecration" are written, and he is trying to enter the United States of America. However, Uncle Sam is in the way, preventing the man from entering. Uncle Sam is grabbing his nose as though he's saying the man smells really bad. I think the message of this picture is that the Americans don't want immigrants to come to the United States because they will bring poverty, disease, desecration, and the anarchy to the country.

11/7 Political Cartoon Analysis Uncle Sam, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, Cuba, the Philippines, China, American Indian, and some states of America are included in the picture. The caption says "School Begins", "Uncle Sam(to his new class in Civilization)- Now, children, you've got to learn these lessons whether you want to or not. But just take a look at the class ahead of you and remember that, in a little while, you will feel glad to be here as they are!" The words written in the picture are "First Lessons in Self Government".

Subjects are Uncle Sam, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, Cuba, the Philippines, China, American Indian, and states of America. Uncle Sam is represented as a teacher, and the others are depicted as students.

Countries being depicted as kids could be a symbol. It means that those countries are uncivilized and cannot govern themselves. Chinese is not even allowed to enter the school building.
