Russian Immigrants to the United States
Between 1815 and 1915 around 30 million Europeans immigrated to the United States. For central and eastern Europeans, such as Russian immigrants where immigration was restricted, travel to the US meant weeks or months at sea.
The age of the steam boat made emigration to America much easier journey, allowing many people from Russia to escape religious persecution, decreasing land and jobs, and increasing political strife. Russian Jews comprised a large portion of migration from Russia, especially following the Russian government's removal of the freedom to worship in 1870.
