What did nativists use scientific ideas to argue

Answer 1

Answer:

Nativism is an ideology or political and social thought that defends or privileges those born in their own land and therefore rejects foreign migrants who come from abroad. Nativism is one of the expressions of demographic nationalism where foreigners are never well received either by the whole of society or by any of the ethnic groups of that society when considering foreigners different from them, by geographical origin, religion or any other socioeconomic feature.
