Addams not only alleviated the alienation and plight of immigrants, but also served as an example for the organizers of institutions for immigrants everywhere, organizing a settlement of immigrants, where a nursery, library, gym, bookbinding workshop, communal kitchen, art studio, labor museum, as well as a boarding house for young workers were established. Addams' efforts to improve living conditions in the urban suburbs spawned a new social worker profession. Today, the set of general principles, goals and organizational approaches to the education of immigrants in the Addams' settlement is surprisingly consonant with the guidelines regarding education modernization strategies, in particular, attitudes towards the formation of civic identity, “expressed in the acceptance by students of national spiritual values,” as well as “mutual understanding and trust between representatives of various social and ethnic groups.”

Jacob Riis was a Danish immigrant who moved to New York in 1870. At 21, he dreamed of starting a new, better life for America. Riis did not realize that hundreds of thousands of other immigrants arrived with the same idea. Due to the lack of affordable housing in the city, most of these people ended up in squalid, crowded houses. Riis struggled to find a permanent job and became closely acquainted with the harsh and humiliating conditions that immigrants faced at the beginning of the century. Finally, Riis got a job as a trainee journalist at the New York News Association. Realizing that words cannot accurately capture the daily struggle against poverty waged by emigrants, Riis learned to photograph. Equipped with a camera, he documented the slums, salons, apartment buildings and streets of New York. His photographs appear rude and gloomy, revealing terrible living conditions that most New Yorkers did not even know then. Through his work, he tried to draw attention to these facts.

union blockade

explanation:

the union blockade in the american civil war was a naval strategy by the united states to prevent the confederacy from trading.

the blockade was proclaimed by president abraham lincoln in april 1861, and required the monitoring of 3,500 miles (5,600 km) of atlantic and gulf coastline, including 12 major ports, notably new orleans and mobile. those blockade runners fast enough to evade the union navy could only carry a small fraction of the supplies needed. they were operated largely by british citizens, making use of neutral ports such as havana, nassau and bermuda. the union commissioned around 500 ships, which destroyed or captured about 1,500 blockade runners over the course of the war.
