Though the door to 19th-century Asian immigration was almost closed on the West Coast, where did European immigrants tend to settle?

When the immigration in the West Coast was closed during the late 19th century, European immigrants shifted its settlements in the East and Midwest. Most immigrants came from Western and Northern Europe in which they decided to relocate in the United States since they perceived it as "the land of economic opportunity."
