The correct answer is "It created a controversy that influenced President Roosevelt to take action".

Sinclair's "The Jungle", aimed to win the hearts of Americans and lead their convictions towards socialism. However,<u> the biggest impact the book ended up having on the public, was its criticism of the meatpacking industry and exposure of their unsanitary practices</u>.

Although President Roosevelt was outraged at first, he ended up passing the Meat Inspection Act and the Pure Food and Drug Act to control the situation. In a public release he stated: "Radical action must be taken to do away with the efforts of arrogant and selfish greed on the part of the capitalist."

Now use the chart to compare and contrast the perspectives on immigration from all three primary sources.
alukav5142 [94]

The immigrants are viewed as people who should be pitied and allowed in as they are mostly Jewish refugees, fleeing persecution, according to <em>Emma Lazarus' </em><em>The Colossus.</em>

<h3>What is a Primary Source?</h3>

This refers to the first-hand account of a topic or a narration that is usually reliable.

Emma Lazarus was of the opinion that immigrants can be Americans as she used the Statue of Liberty as a symbol of a welcoming mother to all immigrants. She also felt that all immigrants were equal and one was not superior to the other.

Thomas Bailey in his poem, <em>The Unguarded Gates</em>, is critical of immigrants coming to America. From the tone of the poem, he is a white supremacist and also an advocate of nationalism which also shows that he thought some immigrants were less equal than others.

<em>The Babel Proclamation </em>by the Iowa Governor William Harding showed the controversial declaration that only English should be spoken in public places and also he had strong anti-German sentiments in the wake of World War I and he was anti-immigration and thought some immigrants were less equal than others.
