**__//Overview//__**
During the period of 1790-1820 wars and other world events in the European countries forced people to find shelter in the new American colonies. The major groups involved in migration were the Africans, Europeans, French, and Spanish. Also the Native Americans were a major group but they already lived in the new world. Every year since 1790, America accepted 8,000 immigrants to the new colonies, and the population was about 3.9 million people, 85% white people (including German and French and Germans) and doubled every 25 years. The Native Americans population decreased several of reasons, for instance, diseases and wars. Some Native American tried to resist the Europeans from taking their land but most of the rebellions failed. The African were forced to come to the new world because of the slave trade. The Africans population increased during the slave trade and took up 16% of the entire population, but later stopped because in 1808 they banned the slave trade. There were a lot of treaties and acts that took place during this time for example, the 1795 treaty with Spain, the the Alien and Sedition Act in 1798, Louisiana purchase in1803. There were many more, but these were some of the important events that affected the migration into and throughout the U.S

They also had many opportunities to get jobs, they had religious freedoms. There were more people who came to the U.S like Africans, Europeans, French, Spanish, and Indians who were already there but they were forced to move out of their land. Africans stopped immigrating after the ban of slave trade of 1808. Many of the people came on boats but the Indians were already there. Since many people decided to come they started to pass laws that would limit them and allowed certain people come. The laws that were passed were Naturalization act of 1790, which meant that any immigrant that comes to the U.S. is a citizen but it only applied to whites.

When all the people stared to migrate over to the U.S, they people in the colonies started to take over more and more of Indian Territory with out their say on it. In the north there was a war going called Little turtle war going from 1785 to 1795. It was a fight over territory for war and the U.S won in 1794. Due to the war of 1812 between U.S. and Britain 10000 Englishmen had to enlist. They were put into imprisonment because of the war. Also another treaty that goes against the Indians was the treaty of fort Jackson which forced Indians out of Alabama.
