From 1820-1920 32 million people immigrated to the U.S. and nearly 90% were from Europe, many europeans caused great economic success in the U.S. because they urged friends that were in Europe to join them in America
From 1840s-1850s nearly 200,000 Irish and German people immigrated to the U.S. per year, desperate times in Germany and Ireland pushed them to the U.S.
