The American melting pot

The people who left their homelands and came to America all had one thing in common: the hope for a new life and prosperity. Many were escaping unemployment, poor housing, overpopulation and harsh weather conditions. The only people who did not share the dream of a better life were the blacks who where brought over as slaves to work in the cotton fields of the South. They could be bought and sold whenever their masters wanted. They had no right to own property, to associate with white people or sometimes even to stay together as a family. If they tried to escape, they were severely punished or even killed.
