Migration, Immigration, and Power
The movement of people around the world is as old as
time, and the United States has experienced this phenomenon for
hundreds of years. You will explore and trace the ways in which
people have moved to and within the United States and how these
movements have affected the social identity, industry, environment,
and community development of the United States. Read

and naturalization difficulties. Compare how the U.S. government’s
role and policies influenced immigration and migration during late
1800s to today.
For your Discussion Board post answer the following
questions:
How did the spirit of Manifest Destiny and federal
policies guide the outcome of Native American tribes on the Great
