Migration and immigration are part of the American story. People have migrated or immigrated for different reasons: freedom, sanctuary, or forced against their will. Everyone is connected to a migration story that reflects identity, cultures, and values. These stories make up the American identity.
consider the development of different regions in the United States: North, South, East, and West. Discuss how internal migration (i.e., moving west for opportunity, or moving from south to north for freedom) and immigration (example of coming to America particularly Ethiopian immigrant in the Washington DC metro area) affected or contributed to the region. Think about the following for your response:
- Way of life
- Food
- Environment
