The Publics Perception of Early Immigrants

Page history last edited by PBworks 15 years, 10 months ago

 

- A political cartoon depicting Irish Immigrants as "untouchables." As house

servents and labor workers, the Irish were assigned jobs often associated with African Americans.

Hence, derogratory terms and other nativists efforts quickly became a staple of urban society

in New York City.

- A political cartoon, first released in 1915, depiciting the anti-irish sentiment aimed at making a

correlation between the features of African Americans and those of Irish Americans. The caption,

as shown below, proposes that African Americans have always had a "connection" to Ireland and

where thus interrelated.
