1 answer:

7 0

The Taft-Hartley Act of 1947 came after a protracted public battle between all the parties involved in the process of collective bargaining. The political process that led to the Act happened at a time when the Presidency was Democratic and both houses of Congress were Republican. As such, both institutions disagreed on the nature of labor and collective bargaining between different parties. This led President Truman to veto the bill after it had passed both houses of Congress. However, both houses quickly overrode the presidential veto and passed the Act.

Why were American Protestants afraid of increased catholic immigration

brilliants [131]

American Protestants were afraid of the increased catholic immigration since they felt threatened by the idea of America becoming a Catholic country.

On the one hand, Catholics believed a different Christianity than Protestants. Protestants, as opposed to the Catholic church, thought the following:

Less hierarchy in church structure.
The Bible and, not the sacraments, as source of revelation from God
Jesus as the only necessary intercessor with God.

There was an prejudice from anti-catholics that has to do with social class or status of the inmigrants. Protestants from upper classes, believed that the inmigrants were poor, therefore, they associated them with crime, danger and laziness.

The fear from the American protestants created by the massive flow of catholic inmigrants, was so big that even a popular national organization, the American Protective Association, was founded to promote anti-Catholicism.
