Korean American history
The first immigrants from Korea came to Hawaii at the beginning of the 20th century. Later they entered the United States mainland especially California, Utha, Colorado, Wyoming, Arziona and Alaska. Most of them went to L.A. or New York. In America they hoped to find work, peace and democracy. They were farm workers or wage laborers.
1908 the immigration stopped, because Koreans were Japanese nationals and the Japanese were excluded.
When the Korean War ended in 1953 a small number of students and professionals entered the USA. From then till today ther were 150,000 adoptees.
With the passage of the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965, Koreans became one of the fastest growing Asian groups in the United States, surpassed only by Filipinos.
