Birdsall refers to California as "a state of immigrants." (p. 315) He says, "Although more than two-thirds of native-born Americans live in their state of birth, fewer than half of Californians were born in the state."
Pittsburgh, however, is home to many international immigrants. Pittsburgh's culture is
defined by many cultures as many immigrants have settled there. Before
1900, people from Britain, Germany and Scandinavia settled in Pittsburgh.
Luckily, there were no major clashes between native and foreign born people.
After 1900, because of Pittsburgh's need for labor, people from Slavic Europe,
the Baltic States and southern Europe came to Pittsburgh. Unfortunately, this
caused some problems between the groups living in Pittsburgh. Those already in Pittsburgh thought "their social standings, customs, and lifestyles were in jeopardy to what they believed were the invading newcomers."
