Explanation:At the time Everett Shinn created Eviction (Lower East Side) in

1904 the United States had undergone decades of accelerating

immigration. Unprecedented numbers of immigrants flocked to

our shores, dreaming of a life of freedom and prosperity.

Between 1820 and 1920, approximately 34 million immigrants

came to this country, and New York City was by the far the

most popular destination. By 1910, immigrants and their

American-born children accounted for more than 70 percent

New York City’s population. As steamships sailed to Ellis Island,

the Statue of Liberty greeted them, her inscription calling out,

“Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning

to breathe free.” Immigrants flocking to this country saw Lady

Liberty as a symbol of a new life, a new beginning.

Like most immigrants that came before them, early 20th century immigrants came to better

their lives. In Europe, many left their homelands in search of economic prosperity and religious

freedom. Living conditions in Europe were degraded, as poverty and an exploding European

population led to food shortages
