The history of the industrial development of the United States of America is composed of a series of gigantic leaps of prosperity, and the beginning of Romanian emigration is closely linked to these industrial impulses, when the need for labor for hard work was felt, works that did not require training special. In order to get the necessary labor at the lowest price, emigration agencies and shipping companies have expanded their purpose of action in the East and South of Europe. The Austro-Hungarian Compromise of 1867 established the Dual Monarchy of Austria-Hungary and together with the severe Magyarization policy reflected in the legislation meant for the Romanians of Transylvania represents the beginning of the unsatisfactory national manifestations. The hope of escaping the economic, political, social and depressive situation was just the cause that pushed the Romanians to emigrate. The attractive force exerted by the economic conditions in America, the positive influence of the trans-oceanic emigration beyond the Atlantic, the penetration of the emigration agents in the consciousness of the Romanian peasant, the easy earning of money to support the helpless families left in the country represented the goals of Romanians immigration to the United States.
