Nativists were <u>Americans who believed that too many immigrants were coming into the country (Option 4).</u>

Such American sentiment of "Nativism" was a result of the increasing population of immigrants in the United States since the 1830s approximately. Many people mainly from Britain, Ireland, Germany, other parts of western Europe, Australia and China found out about America's cheap farmlands at the time and its advancement in industrialization and decided to move there for better job opportunities.

The Americans felt threaten by this new labor force that came to the country and who were more likely to work longer hours for less pay.

Nativists not only tried to protect their interests against those of immigrants, and supported immigration-restriction measures but many of them also promoted discrimination toward the new inhabitants.

What was one reason why many white Southerners opposed Reconstruction? They felt Northerners were getting rich at their expense.
Romashka [77]

After the American Civil war (1861 -1865)  and the victory of the Union, a process of Reconstruction (1865-1877) took place. This process aimed to transform the 11 ex-confederated states in a "republican form of government" via laws and constitutional amendments.

The Southerners felt Northerners were getting rich at their expense because since the end of the war many moved to the south as social reformers. Several of them were businessmen who acquired or rented plantations and became wealthy landowners, choosing freedmen to do the labor.  Following the Civil War, Northerners often obtained plantations at fire-sale rates. Because of this, they were commonly considered to be taking advantage of those living in the South.

How did Portugal gain an advantage in trading in comparison to other European nations?
erastovalidia [21]

Answer:

The biggest changes were in rigging. At first they concentrated on lateen sails, then added a mix of square sails and lateen for deeper penetration into the South Atlantic, with further changes for the much longer route round the Cape. Knowledge of these techniques was protected by forbidding sales of ships to other countries. A third commercial advantage was Portugal's ability to absorb “new Christians” — Jewish merchants and scholars had played a significant role during Muslim rule
