NEED HELP WITH QUESTION (US HISTORY)

Question

The policy of Nativism often led to:

Select one:

a. Jobs for immigrants

b. Jobs for African Americans

c. Discrimination

d. Education opportunities

Answer 1

Like Zachary said, the correct answer is C, or Discrimination. Nativism is the concept of keeping immigrants, or noncitizens of any country, barred from employment, citizenship, housing, and so on. Former president Trump's policy of "America First" would be a modern example of this. Through a more historical lens, a good example would be the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882, which barred Chinese workers from entering the country.

Answer 2

The correct answer is C. Nativism is the idea of protecting United States-born peoples' interests over those of foreign-born people. This attitude has often led to many instances of discrimination, which is often perpetrated by the federal government such as the case of the 1882 Chinese Exclusion Act.
