Answer:

The terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 led the federal government to create the Department of Homeland Security.

Explanation:

The United States Department of Homeland Security is a cabinet department of the United States Government with the responsibility of protecting the American territory from terrorist attacks and responding to natural disasters. The department was created from 24 federal agencies already in existence in response to the attacks of September 11, 2001.

While the Department of Defense is responsible for military actions, the Department of Homeland Security works in the civilian sphere to protect the United States inside and outside its borders. Its objective is to prepare, prevent and respond to national emergencies, especially terrorism.

Vika [28.1K]
The United States experienced major waves of immigration during the colonial era, the first part of the 19th century and from the 1880s to 1920. Many immigrants came to America seeking greater economic opportunity, while some, such as the Pilgrims in the early 1600s, arrived in search of religious freedom. From the 17th to 19th centuries, hundreds of thousands of African slaves came to America against their will. The first significant federal legislation restricting immigration was the 1882 Chinese Exclusion Act. Individual states regulated immigration prior to the 1892 opening of Ellis Island, the country’s first federal immigration station. New laws in 1965 ended the quota system that favored European immigrants, and today, the majority of the country’s immigrants hail from Asia and Latin America.
