Answer 1

Concern over cultural differences led to more restrictive immigration laws. This was the role of nativism in federal policy. During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, many Americans feared that the country was being flooded with immigrants who were taking jobs away from native-born citizens and changing the culture of the United States. This led to the passage of laws such as the Immigration Act of 1924, which limited the number of immigrants who could come to the United States from certain countries and established quotas for others. These laws were designed to promote what was seen as the "American way of life" and to ensure that newcomers assimilated to American values and customs.
