The

United

“is

nation

but

a

nation

of

nations”.

The

immigrants

came

in

the

Europeans,

the

and

Therefore,

America

as

“a

The

issue

of

slavery

was

the

focus

of

American

politics,

economics

and

cultural

life

by

the

mid-19th

century.

The

Southern

planters

needed

a

large

number

of

laborers

to

manage

their

plantations

and

they

regarded

the

black

slaves

as

their

property.

In

the

North,

with

the

development

of

industry,

there

was

a

growing

demand

for

free

labor.

What’s

more,

the

Northerners

demanded

a

law

protecting

tariffs

and

asked

the

government

to

finance

the

building

of

railways

and

roads,

but

the

Southerners

were

strongly

against

it

and

advocated

free

trade

so

that

they

could

purchase

cheaper

goods

from

foreign

countries.

The

accumulating

conflicts

led

to

the

division

of

the

North

and

the

South

and

finally

the

Civil

War.

There

are

two

main

reasons

that

attract

immigrants

to

Australia.

One

is

the

Australian

immigration

policy

and

tradition.

a

great

international

reputation

for

its

diversity

and

tolerance.

It

accepts

respects

is
