Migration and immigration are part of the American story. People have migrated or immigrated for different reasons: freedom, sanctuary, or forced against their will. Everyone is connected to a migration story that reflects identity, cultures, and values. These stories make up the American identity. For your Discussion Board post, consider the development of different regions in the United States: North, South, East, and West. Discuss how internal migration (i.e., moving west for opportunity, or moving from south to north for freedom) and immigration (coming to America) affected and shaped these regions.
