The Trench in Potter's Field
The Trench in Potter's Field refers to a photo depicting a trench used as a mass grave for tenement residents who died during the period of mass immigration in New York.
== Immigrants and Economic Degradation ==
Immigrants especially refuge in the tenements during the massive immigration through Elis Island. However, due to the large influx of people immigrating to the United States, the tenement plan shortly failed. There was simply not enough room, resources, or economic stability for people, including children, to survive. Soon, many were unable to afford food and other basic necessities. This eventually led to the bigger problem of not being able to afford living in the already crowded tenements. The depraved poverty that spread throughout New York was the ultimate catalyst in the death toll. Immigrants were already faced with many challenges moving to the United States, on top of the economic state that they came to it in. This helped foreshadow the magnitude of deaths that would occur.
