The statement, "New immigrants came from southeastern Europe prominently" is True .
Explanation:
"New immigration" was a phrase from those in the late 1880s which began with the arrival of Jewish, Catholic immigrants from southern and eastern Europe.
The history of immigrants to the United States outlines people's movement to America, along with the first settlers in Europe since around 1600. From this point on, British as well as other Europeans primarily settled on the eastern shore. Africans started importing as slaves in 1619.
Although most immigrants moved across New York's Ellis Island and made the Nordost a major target of immigration, efforts were made to redirect immigrants to other harbors and spread the settlement in other parts of the country, for example, the Galveston Revolution.
