Explanation:
The Know-Nothing Party in the 1850's was a clandestine nativist organization that later formed the American Party. This political party, according to britannica.com, "called for restrictions on immigration, the exclusion of the foreign-born from voting or holding public office in the United States, and for a 21-year residency requirement for citizenship."
On the other hand, the response to the Red Scare of 1919, the first Red Scare described the fear of communism and anarchism during the cold war between Russia and the United States. In the response to the Red Scare of 1919, there were calls for immigration restrictions and purging of the Russian Communist influence in the United States.
Conclusively, both sought to limit immigration to the United States.
Answer:
These reform movements sought to promote basic changes in American society, including the abolition of slavery, education reform, prison reform, women's rights, and temperance (opposition to alcohol).
Explanation:
- The abolition of slavery was one of the most powerful reform movements. Quakers and many churches in New England saw slavery as an evil that must be abolished from society. They targeted slave owners who profited off of enslaved people's labor. Harriot Tubman, who helped people escape, and Frederick Douglass, a self-educated and forceful orator and writer, proved be powerful speakers. Abolitionists came to the defense of African Americans accused of running from their masters when law officials threatened to return them. Abolitionism was anathema to Southerners and not popular in many areas of the North, but they moved slavery to a central focus in American political life.
- Alcohol ruined families and bred crime, especially in the growing urban centers of the East. Drinking was sinful, and it was the government's responsibility to remove this temptation, in the view of the temperance advocates. They ran candidates on the Prohibition Party in elections, who were rarely successful, and pressured elected officials to make the manufacture and sale of alcohol illegal
- Other reforms attracted similar attention, though never to the degree of prohibition and abolition. Some groups advocated for better treatment of the insane and more humane prisons. Advocates for women's rights used tactics similar to the prohibition and abolition movements to demand the right to vote. In fact, many of the same people participated in several reform causes.
I don’t believe this question truly applies to any of the candidates, but I would have to go with Andrew Jackson. Jackson won the popular vote and had the most total votes, but John Adams still won in electoral college. Therefore Jackson would be your answer because he received the most votes but failed to gain the majority of the electoral college.
Have a nice day.
