Why were immigrants often hired to work in sweatshops?

Hello!

Immigrants were often hired to work in sweatshops because normal people didn't want to work there under such conditions. While the immigrants were often blackmailed into working there.

I hope it helped!

this is a good question! i'll do some research and come back when i have the answer!

can someone me with this question:  

1) the end of the conflict between the north and the south didn’t just mark the end of a war; it marked the end of an entire way of life.” which statement best describes what this statement means?  

a) the southerners were no longer free and were controlled by the northern states.

b) the industrial economy in the north was not sustainable.

c) slavery became illegal, which changed completely the south’s labor force and the agricultural economy was destroyed.
