Ten years later, in 1800, although the English were still a majority, many Iris, Dutch, German, Swedish, Scottish, and French settlers had come to make their homes in the United States. Immigrants from all of these nations, along with an undocumented number of Africans who had been brought into the country as slavers, provided labor for the rapid growing cities and the frontier farms. They built factories, roads, and canals, pushing West to settle town on the edges of the American territory. By 1880, large numbers of central and southern Europeans began to find their way to America. Italian, Greek, Russian, Australian, Armenian, and Slavic immigrants settled in the cities where they supplied labor for hundreds of new industries. The census of 1910 listed almost one million immigrants. After the civil war, many Asians began to arrive, primarily to work on the railroads in the West. Chinese laborers by the thousands led the way, followed by Korean and Japanese immigrants. In more recent years, hundreds of thousands of refugees have come to the United States, the largest numbers from Hungary, Cuba, Lenanon, Syris, and the West Indies.
