For Rainer, it started as an innocent class strategy in teaching Autocracy ...

Presence of many small countries will promote external trade as the small countries will seek goods they do not produce (Palmer, p.134). The existence of countries in large units will promote both internal and external trade as these countries will be able to produce a wider variety of goods for example North American countries.

This immigration phenomenon began just a few decades after the US declared independence. In the 19th century, these immigrants came mostly from Europe, influenced by push-pull factors that compelled these trans-Atlantic transits.
