I’m working on a writing discussion question and need the explanation and answer to help me learn.

Read  Chapter 8 of Who Built America, volume I, “Immigration, Urban Life, and Social Reform in theFreeLaborNorth,1838-1860Download Immigration, Urban Life, and Social Reform in the Free-Labor North, 1838-1860.”
complete a critical summary of this week’s reading and enter it below.

Each summary must include the following elements:

(a) a short “lead paragraph (Links to an external site.)” summarizing what you think are the most important points of the chapter;
(b) a description of the most interesting person, event, or idea in the chapter;
(c) why the person, event, or idea you chose is interesting to you; and,
(d) How are the prospects for immigrants to the US today similar to and different from the prospects for immigrants to the US in the 1840s and 50s?
