The change in immigration policies between the 1920 and 1960 reveals a discriminatory Immigration policy in the United States.

In 1921, the Congress enacted the Emergency Quota Act, which set national immigration quotas, followed by the Immigration Act of 1924 which pointed at further restricting immigrants from Southern and Eastern Europe, particularly Jews, Italians, and Slavs, and consolidated the prohibition of Asian immigration.

The U.S. government sponsored a Mexican Repatriation program between 1929 and 1936, which was intended to encourage people to voluntarily move to Mexico, but thousands were deported against their will. Most of the Jewish refugees fleeing the Nazis and World War II were barred from coming to the United States. In the post-war era, the Justice Department launched Operation Wetback, under which Mexicans were deported in 1954.

Based on events described in the text, what was the immediate reaction of women suffragists to the Fifteenth Amendment?
Tanya [424]

Answer:

Hello. You did not inform the text to which the question refers, but through research on the suffragette movement, we can say that the suffragettes repudiated this amendment and what it addressed.

Explanation:

The 15th amendment states that the government is prohibited from preventing citizens from voting on the basis of their skin color, race or previous condition of servitude. This amendment allowed blacks to vote, as they were free and citizens. However, the suffragettes rejected this decision and reacted with strong hostility to it. This regulation occurred because the 15th did not include women as citizens with the right to vote, that is, women were still denied to exercise their citizenship and actively participate in the government's political choices.
