America in the early 20th century
In the early 20th century, America joined Britain and France (two democratic countries), which helped boost America's economy. People from Europe began to immigrate to the U.S. to get better paying jobs, and just a better life in general. During this era, many rights were being made for women like voting rights throughout the whole country.

Immigrant arrival
During the early 20th century, millions of immigrants transfered to America, to start a new and better life. Most of the incoming immigrants came from Southern and Eastern Europe, so all of them had to get used to the differnt ways of life in the U.S. like language, government laws, and the society. At the beginning of when people immigrated, America took a while to get used to the big wave of people, so many immigarnts lived in slum areas since they didn't have great paying jobs. -

The Saranoff Family
Hilda Polacheck interviewed the Saranoff family in Chicago during 1936, to show people about how immigarnts lived when they first came to America. Based on that she did she this interview, I can tell that she didn't really have a problem with the new immigrants. She most likely liked the effect they had on the country through out the 1920's. -
