Polk was very anxious to purchase California from Mexico, and he knew that Mexico would refuse to give it up. He thought there was no time to be lost, as he feared that England would seize it as a strong point on the Pacific, the wisest course was what we would now call "eyeball" diplomacy — staring hard at the opponent and expecting him to blink first. This technique was beginning to work with England, and Polk had no doubt that it would also work with Mexico.

Why do you think Italian Americans and German Americans would be discriminated<br> against?
Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

They would most likely be discriminated against for religion, drinking, politics, and "stealing" of jobs.

Explanation:

During the mass immigrations that occurred during the American Industrial Revolution, many German and Italian (along with Irish) immigrants came to America in search of factory jobs and cheap land. They suffered from a lot of discrimination, however, as many "native"-born Americans felt that these immigrants were taking their jobs, because the immigrants would work without rest for low costs with the hopes of getting enough money to make a name for themselves in this new country. Many of the immigrants were Catholic, which was uncommon among Americans and another cause for discrimination. Also, the "heavy" drinking habits of the immigrants (specifically males) was a subject for jest among Americans, and the fact that the immigrants were allowed to vote, while having what Americans thought of as "low to no" knowledge of American politics and politicians whatsoever was threatening to us and caused some tension and hatred between the groups.

Explain the purpose of the federalist papers. who wrote them
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

The main purpose of The Federalist Papers was to explain the newly proposed constitution (we had a first constitution called The Articles of Confederation) to the people of New York in the hopes of encouraging them to ratify the new constitution in the upcoming ratifying convention. They cogently detailed the deficiencies of the Articles of Confederation and the need for a stronger federal government, and then explained the specific elements of the proposed constitution.  The Federalist Papers consist of 85 letters written by Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and John Jay with all three of them writing under the pseudonym Publius.  The three of them split up the subject matter, but John Jay became ill and as a result he contributed only six of the essays while Hamilton and Madison wrote the rest. How effective they were is open to debate, but in terms of the fact that they are in print to this day, and provide perhaps the most accurate presentation of the original intent of the Framers of the Constitution, shows that they did indeed resonate with the public.
