Question

As immigrant arrivals to the United States peaked in the mid-1900s, newcomers dispersed into cities and towns, often attempting to "blend in." This was in order to embrace their new lives, but it was also a way of trying to stay safe from prejudice and hatred. What term describes this process of "blending in"?

Answer 1

Answer:

melting pot

Explanation:

There was anti-immigration feeling in the American environment as immigrants were seen as a threat to social and economic opportunities. Melting pot is a metaphor used in American society to describe the cultural assimilation of different ethnicity and nationality. It represents that a heterogeneous society is transforming in a homogeneous one or vice versa.
