The European migrant was most often

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The European migrant was most often a small peasant landowner or rural craftsman, as they were seeking better economic opportunities and more land to farm. The poorest rural, landless peasant would not have had the resources or ability to migrate, and middle-class professionals would have been less likely to feel the need to migrate. Urban, skilled factory workers were a growing demographic, but they were not the most common type of migrant.
