Lost Battalion Movie Question: The roll call of troops shows Lieutenant Lee having a problem with the names on the roll, what phenomenon in American history does this refer to?

The American history of immigrants from Europe

Explanation:

The Lost Batallion is a group of about 500 men which gets trapped behind enemy lines in October 1918 in France during the closing weeks of W.W. 1.

This group consisted of many Irish, Polish, Italian and Jewish immigrants, mostly from New York. Surely it must have been difficult for Lieutenant to pronounce the names correctly

Immigration forms an indelible part of American history and in this case the European presence in the Lost Batallion is clearly caused by the big wave of European immigration from the middle of the 19th century to the beginning of the 20th century. Most of these immigrants arrived at Ellis Island and if they were lucky they could continue their journey to New York.

the vast majority of ballots have been counted nearly two weeks after one of the biggest political upsets in modern u.s. history catapulted donald trump to the presidency.

estimates show more than 58 percent of eligible voters went to the polls during the 2016 election, nearly breaking even with the turnout rate set during the last presidential election in 2012, even as the final tallies in states like california continue to be calculated, according to statistics collected by the u.s. elections project.

but among those figures were stark contrasts in key states that swing the election to trump — in ohio, wisconsin, iowa, michigan and elsewhere — indicating the president-elect’s leap from long-shot candidate to the most powerful political position in the world may have happened in part because of apathy toward hillary clinton’s candidacy, especially among the democratic base, several political scientists and organizations monitoring voter turnout told the pbs newshour.

while clinton is leading the popular vote by more than 1.5 million over trump as of sunday, she trails president obama’s 2012 totals by more than 2 million ballots — a chasm that may have cost her the election, said david becker, co-founder of the center for election and innovation and research.

“several million voters didn’t come out to vote,” becker said. “which is telling me that this idea of the trump wave, a huge number of voters shifting over to trump, is certainly not the story.”
