¶ … Immigration
Human migration has over the course of history shaped the demographics of continents in a manner that no other single phenomenon has ever done.

The slaves in the Americas helped fuel the industrial revolution in Europe and the more the industrial revolution caught momentum, the more the demand for raw material that in turn fueled the demand for slaves. With the change in human rights agitation and politics of the time, slave trade came to an end and slavery later on came to a stop and the millions of freed slaves had to settle down and begin their lives as free men with individual purposes. This is when some slaves opted to settle in the Southern part of the U.S. and another estimated 6 million more opted to migrate Northwards, hence the great migration (A&E Television Networks, 2015).

The slavery in the South led to production of raw material like cotton and sugarcane which were shipped to the North America in the numerous industries that existed there. The people who worked in the industries in the North were paid their due wages for the labor they provided and with the increased number of industries in the North, more labor was needed, which prompted the migration of millions of African-Americans, who pursued better working conditions and the better life free of discrimination that was perceived to exists in the North and Canada as opposed to the south that viewed the African-Americans more as they did when they were still their slaves.
The great migration to the North America and Canada was not only confined to the African-Americans from the South, but the mid 19th Century and early 20th Century saw profound changes in politics, democracy and economic freedoms in this region that attracted migrants from as far as Europe. The slave trade was replaced by various immigration patterns with the European and the Asian immigrants coming to the U.S.A. and Canada and Argentina regions in large numbers.

According to Schiller this unequal regulation of migration may have a great deal to do with the strength or weakness of transnational networks. The author explains that in most cases people have strong bonds to their homeland and send a portion of their wages back to relatives that are still in their home countries.

America eventually discovered that the tongs were a very organized criminal organization that held a tyrannical hold over the Chinese population.

However, correlation does
