To what extent did immigrants give up their heritage to become Americanized, or fully assimilated into the existing culture?

Aliun [14]

Answer:

The immigration experience for different groups of immigrants is different and they assimilated to American society in different ways. There were also biases and prejudices on the part of mainstream society that were barriers for some populations.

Explanation:

The process of assimilating into American culture is complex. The early immigrants from Northern Europe who arrived in colonial times or shortly thereafter had an easier assimilation process as they were more like the settlers culturally and historically although some Scandinavian and German cultural influences remained among families and in particular regions. There was also a large population who immigrated from Ireland around time from the 1820s to 1860s. In the mid to late 1800s there were waves of immigration from Southern and Eastern Europe and they were linguistically and culturally more distinct and so they also created enclaves in many of the the largest cities that allowed them to keep some of their heritage. Generally by the second generation immigrant children adopt many of the traits of the dominant culture and they are bilingual in many cases but can speak English like anyone born American. The Chinese for example were discriminated against and excluded with the Chinese Exclusion Act in 1882. It was harder for them to assimilate.

What were the effects of the Civil Service Reform?

dybincka [34]

Answer:

U.S. civil service reform was a major issue in the late 19th century at the national level, and in the early 20th century at the state level. Proponents denounced the distribution of government offices—the "spoils"—by the winners of elections to their supporters as corrupt and inefficient. They demanded nonpartisan scientific methods and credential be used to select civil servants. The five important civil service reforms were the two Tenure of Office Acts of 1820 and 1867, Pendleton Act of 1883, the Hatch Acts (1939 and 1940) and the CSRA of 1978.

Trace the impact of World War I on the Prohibition movement. Arrange the events in

mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

United States enters World War I.

Congress ratifies the Eighteenth Amendment.

World War I ends.

General public begins to oppose the Eighteenth Amendment.

Explanation:

A feature of the sobriety movement was the presence of powerful support groups - both among Republicans and among Democrats. The social group actively opposing restrictions was American Germans. Firstly, this was due to national traditions, and secondly, due to the fact that the German diaspora concentrated in its hands a significant part of the market for the production and sale of alcohol. However, due to the aggravation of relations between the USA and Germany and the entry of the States into the First World War in 1917, the influence of Germans in American society was minimized. In turn, in the factions of the Republican and Democratic parties in Congress at this time, the majority was represented by proponents of sobriety.

On December 17, 1917, Congress voted to introduce the 18th Amendment to the US Constitution prohibiting the production, transportation, and sale of alcohol in the country. By January 1919, 36 of the 48 US states had ratified the amendment, which allowed it to be enforced.

However, US President Woodrow Wilson, who called the idea absurd, based on public opinion, criticized the prohibitions. He tried to veto the law legalizing the amendment, but his veto was overcome.

The abolition of the Prohibition was in line with the Roosevelt’s New Deal, carried out in order to overcome the economic collapse.
