How did immigration change the American experience? Would industrialization

History

The US has typically benefited greatly from immigration. The most notable citizens of the US often came to the country as immigrants or first-generation citizens. In order to create a very open and happy culture that encouraged independence and ambition, we combined elements of the British core culture with the Nordic work ethic and values, the Irish mischief and love of the underdog, the Italian and Spanish influences, as well as those of the African, Chinese, and Mexican immigrants.

However, there have been instances when having too many immigrants has seriously affected the US. It has sparked several recessions and deflations. For instance, a rush of immigrants starting in the 1870s outpaced our ability to assimilate them, contributing significantly to the slump of 1890. Even worse, people were congregating in ethnic ghettos, which was seriously harming the country and destroying the pay scale, leading to an almost complete economic collapse. Similar trends are being observed with the influx of refugees and illegal immigrants into the US. Our economy is being destroyed by a lack of integration, ethnic ghettos, and labor excess, and national unity is hanging by a thread as a result.

Westward Expansion undoubtedly had something to do with immigration. At that time, the nation was experiencing a massive influx of immigration, which essentially compelled an expansion in order to provide immigrants and settlers with sufficient housing. I think the Westward Expansion would have taken place whether there had been an inflow of immigrants or not. Immigration made a significant contribution to the economy's and society's variety. The trading environment will undergo a significant transformation during this time due to the new skill sets that were coming from varied ethnicities. Without immigration, Westward Expansion certainly would have been conceivable. Earlier than immigration began to rise, colonists and settlers were already relocating west.

Thank you,

What was one important factor that helped pass the 26th amendment in 1971 which lowered the voting age to 18
neonofarm [45]
The Vietnam War. It was a long debate over lowering the voting age from 21 to 18, which began during World War II and only intensified during the Vietnam War when young men who were practically being heavily obligated and sometimes forced/drafted to fight for their country were being denied the right to vote. “Old enough to fight, old enough to vote” became a common slogan for a youth voting rights movement, and in 1943 Georgia<span> became the first state to lower its voting age in state and local elections from 21 to 18.

Hope this helps!</span>

Do you think that we have a Nationalist mentality in our country? Why or why not?
pantera1 [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Nationalism is an idea and movement that promotes the interests of a particular nation (as in a group of people),[1] especially with the aim of gaining and maintaining the nation's sovereignty (self-governance) over its homeland. Nationalism holds that each nation should govern itself, free from outside interference (self-determination), that a nation is a natural and ideal basis for a polity[2] and that the nation is the only rightful source of political power (popular sovereignty).[1][3] It further aims to build and maintain a single national identity, based on shared social characteristics of culture, ethnicity, geographic location, language, politics (or the government), religion, traditions and belief in a shared singular history,[4][5] and to promote national unity or solidarity.[1] Nationalism seeks to preserve and foster a nation's traditional cultures and cultural revivals have been associated with nationalist movements.[6] It also encourages pride in national achievements and is closely linked to patriotism.[7][8][page needed] Nationalism is often combined with other ideologies such as conservatism (national conservatism) or socialism (left-wing nationalism).[2]

Throughout history, people have had an attachment to their kin group and traditions, territorial authorities and their homeland, but nationalism did not become a widely recognized concept until the end of the 18th century.[9] There are three paradigms for understanding the origins and basis of nationalism. Primordialism (perennialism) proposes that there have always been nations and that nationalism is a natural phenomenon. Ethnosymbolism explains nationalism as a dynamic, evolutionary phenomenon and stresses the importance of symbols, myths and traditions in the development of nations and nationalism. Modernization theory proposes that nationalism is a recent social phenomenon that needs the socio-economic structures of modern society to exist.[10]

There are various definitions of a "nation" which leads to different types of nationalism. Ethnic nationalism defines the nation in terms of shared ethnicity, heritage and culture while civic nationalism defines the nation in terms of shared citizenship, values and institutions, and is linked to constitutional patriotism. The adoption of national identity in terms of historical development has often been a response by influential groups unsatisfied with traditional identities due to mismatch between their defined social order and the experience of that social order by its members, resulting in an anomie that nationalists seek to resolve.[11] This anomie results in a society reinterpreting identity, retaining elements deemed acceptable and removing elements deemed unacceptable, to create a unified community.[11] This development may be the result of internal structural issues or the result of resentment by an existing group or groups towards other communities, especially foreign powers that are (or are deemed to be) controlling them.[11] National symbols and flags, national anthems, national languages, national myths and other symbols of national identity are highly important in nationalism.[12][13][14][15]

In practice, nationalism can be seen as positive or negative depending on context and individual outlook. Nationalism has been an important driver in independence movements such as the Greek Revolution, the Irish Revolution, the Zionist movement that created modern Israel and the dissolution of the Soviet Union.[16][17] Conversely, radical nationalism combined with racial hatred was also a key factor in the Holocaust perpetrated by Nazi Germany.[18] More recently, nationalism was an important driver of the controversial annexation of Crimea by Russia.[19]
