Detail Description

Detail listing and charts of Jews in the United States in 1880. The listing gives cities, number of Jews, congregations, assets, and affiliated institutions. The Jewish population of the U.S. is the product of waves of immigration primarily from Europe; emigration was initially inspired by the pull of American social and entrepreneurial opportunities, and later was a refuge from the peril of ongoing European antisemitism. Few ever returned to Europe. From a population of 1,000–2,000 Jewish residents in 1790, mostly Dutch Sephardic Jews, Jews from England, and British subjects, the American Jewish community grew to about 15,000 by 1840, and to about 250,000 by 1880.
