The Irish, Germans, and Scandinavians immigrants didn't really come to the US after the Civil War. They were the first wave of immigrants that came in the 1840s and 50s. The second wave came after the Civil War from places like Poland, Italy, and Russia.
1883 is my favorite show ever. I truly related to all of it.
Rogan, talking about how the show 1883 doesn't seem all that long ago in our history. That's so true. Basically, my great grandparents were born in the mid-1800s. Before the Civil War!
I'm a 72 year old native San Antonian. We lived there in my maternal grandmother's house for 5 years before she passed. She was born in Gonzales in 1897. Her husband, born in 1891 in Cherokee County from German parents, was a veteran of World War 1.
My paternal grandfather, a veteran of World War 2, was born in 1899 in Sinton. His father came from northern Ireland.
So my ancestors came to Texas in the 1870s and 1880s. They lived in Tennessee and Georgia before they made it to Texas.
Texas won its independence from Mexico in 1836 and became a state in 1845. So that's about 11 years that Texas was independent. After Texas won independence, the entire American southwest became US territory from New Mexico to California up to Utah except Texas till 1845.

In 7th grade, Texas history was a requirement.
I was watching 1883. I was wondering were the immigrants really that clueless?
Doing this now with third worlders.
