Answer 1

B.) Nativists were concerned that immigrants would overrun the country.

Answer 2

Answer:

B. Nativists were concerned that immigrants would overrun the country.

Explanation:

Nativism is a political ideology that encourages the promotion of interests of the native inhabitants of a territory, as opposed to the interests of immigrants. Usually, nativists are particularly concerned with immigration, and they tend to support restrictions. Although this has been an important political belief throughout the history of the United States, it was not a motivating factor in the movement to ban abortion.
