Americanization League

The Americanization League was an organization founded in the early 20th century aimed at promoting the assimilation of immigrants into American culture. It sought to teach newcomers about American values, language, and traditions to help them integrate into society. The League believed that understanding and embracing these elements would foster unity and reduce cultural differences. While it aimed to support immigrants, its approach sometimes emphasized conformity, leading to debates about multiculturalism and the preservation of diverse cultures in the U.S. The League reflects historical efforts to reconcile immigration with American identity.
