Which push factor do you think pushed people out of their native lands the most and why? Choose one from below

.
1. Population growth. Better food and sanitation caused Europe's population to boom after 1750, and the land became overcrowded.
2. Agricultural changes. As Europes population grew, so did cities.
Landowners wanted to make money selling food to those cities. New methods made it more efficient to farm large areas of land than to rent small plots to tenants. So landlords forced tenants off the land.
3. Crop failures. Poor harvests made it difficult for small farmers to pay their debts. Some of these farmers chose to start over in America.
Crop failures also led to hunger, causing people to emigrate.
4. Industrial Revolution. Goods produced in factories became cheaper than goods produced by artisans. Suddenly out of work, some artisans took factory jobs. Others emigrated.
5. Religious and political turmoil. To escape religious persecution, Quakers fled Norway and Jews left Germany. Also, many Germans came to America after a revolution in Germany failed in 1848.
