Abstract

This student paper talks about the way life that the Scandinavian immigrants had when they immigrated to the United States. They had to learn English, assimilate tot eh way of life, and learn how to associate with the other people who were living here. The immigration from Scandinavian countries, especially Norway, was huge during the late 1800s and early 1900s. Although some felt the pressure to assimilate, many did not. They Scandinavian folk were well accepted due to being known for being hard workers and ethical people. It also touches on the reason why many Scandinavians traveled to the Pacific Northwest instead of staying in mid-United States.
