Why did many new immigrants take dangerous jobs in factories and mines?

They had no other choice

Explanation:

First things first: The world-famous American “How are you?” is not so much a question as it is a casual greeting. While “I’m fine, thanks” is a perfectly acceptable answer, going into a 5-minute monologue about how your day has been going so far is not.

That being said, Americans are, on the whole, very friendly people and happy to help when asked. (Southerners have a well-earned reputation as the most hospitable people in the country, and will often go out of their way to make a foreigner feel more at home.) They also tend to be very direct and open, which can come as a surprise to people coming from more reticent cultures.

Outside of a few big cities, most Americans will only speak English, which means it’ll be tough to communicate through a language barrier—although most Americans will gladly try to help as best they can even if they can’t understand you. Americans are also a bit louder and more chatty than the average person, which can make for some energetic interactions.

Public transportation is pretty thin outside of major metro areas in the U.S.—and even then, the service, reliability, and ease of use can be frustrating. New York City, Chicago, and Boston have some of the country’s most robust public transportation systems, though even those pale in comparison to the options in many other countries. More than 88% of Americans own a car, and many regions are only navigable by private vehicle. That being said, having a car is also an excellent way to see some of the most beautiful places in the U.S., including its collection of stunning national parks like the Grand Canyon and Yosemite. The American auto market is also dominated by automatic transmissions, so don’t worry if you get into a car and can’t find the clutch.

Cities on the east coast are easily accessible by train, but many Americans choose to fly because of convenience and price. Even small cities have airports in the United States, and regional carriers like Mesa Airlines (serving the Southwest) and Cape Air (serving Cape Cod in Massachusetts) are reliable.

Dialing 911 will put you in contact with a general emergency service dispatcher who will be able to contact police and emergency medical vehicles on your behalf.

The 911 operator will ask you for your location, the phone number you’re calling from, and what sort of emergency is happening. After you move to an American city, it’s important to have the phone numbers for the local police department, local fire department, local hospital, and the poison control center posted somewhere in your home for easy access.

There are officially 10 public holidays on the American calendar where the Federal government is closed for business:

New Year's Day (January 1)

Birthday of Martin Luther King, Jr. (Third Monday in January)

President’s Day (Third Monday in February)

Memorial Day (Last Monday in May)

Independence Day (July 4)

Labor Day (First Monday in September)

Columbus Day (Second Monday in October)

Veterans Day (November 11)

Thanksgiving Day (Fourth Thursday in November)

Christmas Day (December 25)

Thanksgiving Day and Independence Day (also called 4th of July) are two quintessential American holidays where friends and family traditionally gather to celebrate. Thanksgiving sees loved ones gather around a huge spread with turkey serving as the traditional centerpiece, while 4th of July is dominated by fireworks, barbecues, and baseball.

America’s multicultural history also means that holidays like Passover, Eid al-Fitr, St. Patrick’s Day, and May Day are all celebrated in different ways in different regions. There are also regional holidays like Patriot’s Day in New England, a holiday that commemorates the first battles of the Revolutionary War and sees many government offices and schools close.

Americans love sports. Football, basketball, baseball, and hockey are the four biggest sports by audience in the U.S., with other activities like soccer, stock car racing, tennis, and golf each having a large and dedicated fanbase. You’ll hear the American national anthem played before most professional sporting events, and many Americans will stand, remove their hats, and face the flag for the duration of the song.

This is all according to my old 5th grade teacher. Thanks for reading it.

i'll tell you everything i know

explanation:

the american entry into world war i came in april 1917, after more than two and a half years of efforts by president woodrow wilson to keep the united states out of the war.

apart from an anglophile element urging early support for the british, american public opinion reflected that of the president: the sentiment for neutrality was particularly strong among irish americans, german americans, and scandinavian americans, as well as among church leaders and among women in general. on the other hand, even before world war i had broken out, american opinion had been more negative toward germany than toward any other country in europe. over time, especially after reports of atrocities in belgium in 1914 and following the sinking of the passenger liner rms lusitania in 1915, american citizens increasingly came to see germany as the aggressor in europe.

wilson, as president, made virtually all the key decisions over foreign policy. while the country was at peace american banks made huge loans to britain and france, which were used mainly to buy munitions, raw materials, and food from across the atlantic. until 1917, wilson made minimal preparations for a land war and kept the united states army on a small peacetime footing, despite increasing demands for enhanced preparedness. he did, however, expand the united states navy.

in 1917, with russia experiencing political upheaval, and with britain and france low on credit, germany appeared to have the upper hand in europe, while the ottoman empire, germany's ally, held on to its territory in modern-day iraq, syria and israel. at this point germany decided to resume unrestricted submarine warfare. its goal was to starve britain into surrender, although it realized that this would almost certainly bring the united states into the war. germany also made a secret offer to mexico regain territories lost in the mexican–american war in an encoded telegram known as the zimmerman telegram, which was intercepted by british intelligence. publication of that communique outraged americans just as german u-boats started sinking american merchant ships in the north atlantic. wilson then asked congress for "a war to end all wars" that would "make the world safe for democracy", and congress voted to declare war on germany on april 6, 1917.

on december 7, 1917, the u.s. declared war on austria-hungary.

u.s. troops began arriving on the western front in large numbers in 1918.
