This lesson plan investigates the influx of Irish and Chinese immigrants to the United States in the 1800s. As populations of different immigrants increased, nativists feelings swept the nation. Despite discrimination, both Chinese and Irish immigrants played important roles in constructing the Transcontinental Railroad.
This is a new lesson plan that Teaching with Primary Sources - Middle Tennessee State University will be featuring in upcoming professional development. We would love to get feedback on this.
