The "New Immigration" to the United States in the late-nineteenth century refers to the increased numbers of people arriving from?

Answer - Southern Europe.

Answer 2

Answer: agricultural areas of eastern and southern Europe.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Industrial Revolution brought to American shores waves of new immigrants from every part of the globe. Between 1860 and 1920, about one in seven Americans was foreign-born. By 1900, nearly 30 percent of the residents of major cities were foreign-born. These newcomers provided much-needed labor, but their arrival sparked ugly racial and ethnic tensions. In steadily rising numbers, immigrants moved from the agricultural areas of eastern and southern Europe directly to the largest cities of America. Once in the United States, they wanted to live with others who shared their language, customs, and religion. Ethnic neighborhoods in American cities preserved familiar folkways and shielded newcomers from the shocks of a strange culture.
