During the period between 1820 and 1860, the Irish represented the largest group of immigrants coming to the United States. Since they frequently came with little or no money, they usually stayed in the cities where they hoped to get jobs in factories. The other substantial group of immigrants during the period were the Germans, who usually came with some money and were able to pursue an agrarian lifestyle in the northwest.
