I am not even remotely understanding your answer. Nativism is a a policy of favoring native inhabitants as opposed to immigrants. If I had to pick two outstanding trends of this in the 1920's, was the rise of the Klu Klux Klan, and secondly, the immigration act of 1924 (with its quota system).
Now that you know what nativism is, please use your text materials or "google" the immigration act of 1924 and the KKK to see if they might be a result of nativism.
I dont know, it must've been a lazy guess. I guess my theory that I'm legit learning nothing in online school is correct sksksk. Thank you bob and Ms. Sue.
^Reed, will do, thank you.
You're welcome.
Why aren't you learning anything online?
Why aren't you learning anything online?
I think it's just because of my style of learning. If I have the opportunity to take the easy way, I most likely will (which I hate about myself). Plus, up until last year, I had been in public school my whole life. I think that public school would be the best for me education wise but where I live, there are no schools that I would want to consider, also, I have some issues with anxiety and what not (the reason I left in the first place).
Thank you for your answer. Maybe you and your parents can move to an area with better schools.
Yes, I hope so and thank you for asking. :)
