What motivated most nineteenth-century immigrants to leave their homes?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The social and economic changes at home, such as overpopulation, poverty, and lack of opportunities, pushed many nineteenth-century immigrants to leave their homes in search of a better life. Some also faced religious or political persecution, but the overall motivation for most was economic and social improvement. Discrimination was also a factor, but it was not the primary motivation for leaving. Option D is incorrect as the question is asking about immigrants leaving their homes to come to the United States, not for religious persecution in the United States.
