The Polish
By: Adam
A litte bit about the polish
The polish traveled to America but only 3/4 of there country made it.Polish immigration started in1608.The first polish immigratss lived in the virginia colanie.They were skilled crafts men.One of the early immigrants was Count Kazimierz Pulaski and he was a national hero in the Revolutionary War.The town of Pulaski is a polish town named after him.Many polish immigrants were NOT called polish by the government because Poland was not a state from 1795-1918.

How the Polish got here
The ships
The Polish got here on wood boats and some died on the ship on the way to America!!!they tabled on ships to go to the Revouloion airier War and help America fight and some were just comeing to get new and more land.
Speaking Polish
Why they moved
- All of the polish immigrated to America because they wanted a choice of religion on more and better farm land.The Polish people migrated from Poland due to WWII, during which they went to serve in the army and after the war the Polish Resettlement Act 1947 was passed by the British parliament. It offered British citizenship to over 200,000 displaced Polish troops who had fought against Nazi Germany on British soil and opposed the Soviet takeover of their homeland. The 2004 enlargement of the European Union also contributed to large numbers of Polish people leaving Poland.
Where in WI did the polish settle
Many people are surprised to learn that the highest percentage of Poles do not live in Illinois. NY state, Michigan or Pennsylvania, but in Wisconsin. If I recall, about 10% of the population is of Polish ancetsry. Of course, that is spread out over the entire state. The percentage is much higher in palces such as Milwaukee, Green Bay, Stevens Point and the small villages of Polonia, Pulaski, Krakow, etc.
There new jobs
When they immigrated to America they got a new job called skilled crafts man.They were hired by the London company to work in Jamestown,Virginia.They made glass house shops and pich and potash burners.
There homes
Many immigrates rented and lived in houses that were owned by there work.Many immigrant workers lived in one building.Polish woman took good care of there home.The homes and building where the polish lived were called polonia that means polish comity.
Traditions
They performed dances such as the Mazurka and the Polonaise they also made literary circles to discuss books by polish writers.They celebrate with foods to dances they have hard boiled eggs,sausage and babka.They wore red and white clothes because there flag is that color.
