There were many immigrants during this time period. One that stands out are the Irish. They are different because they were roman-Catholics which at the time was uncommon in America. Chinese immigrants also were a big group during the gilded age. Chinese immigrants worked many jobs including building railroads, mining, and clearing land among much more. Americans didn't like Chinese immigrants and discriminated against them a lot much like the Native-Americans.
