The effect of nativism in the United States in the 1920s was primarily reflected in the quota system. The quota system, established by the Immigration Act of 1924, significantly limited immigration from countries outside of Northern and Western Europe, reflecting the nativist sentiment of the time which favored Anglo-Saxon and "old stock" Americans. The Scopes Trial, while significant, was more about the conflict between science and religion rather than nativism, and the Jones Act of 1917 was related to citizenship and military service for Puerto Ricans, not specifically tied to nativist policies.
