Long Distance's Increasing Importance

Abstract: A 4 page paper discussing reasons for greater incidence and growing importance of long distance migration since the 16th century. There were nearly as many reasons as there were immigrants, not all of them voluntary. The paper discusses Australia as an early British penal colony; the German pioneering spirit and love of culture; and of course the shame of American slavery. The three groups are discussed in terms of their reasons for emigrating, their reception in their new country and the post-migration adaption. Bibliography lists 4 sources.
