Beginning at the end of the nineteenth century, immigration into the United States rocketed to never-before-seen heights. Many of these new immigrants were coming from eastern and southern Europe and for many English-speaking, native-born Americans of northern European descent the growing diversity of new languages, customs, and religions triggered anxiety and racial animosity.

In reaction, some embraced nativism, prizing white Americans with older family trees over more recent immigrants and rejecting outside influences in favor of their own local customs. Nativists also stoked a sense of fear over the perceived foreign threat, pointing to the anarchist assassinations of the Spanish prime minister in 1897, the Italian king in 1900, and even President William McKinley in 1901 as proof. Following the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia in November 1917, the sense of an inevitable foreign or communist threat grew among those already predisposed to distrust immigrants.

The sense of fear and anxiety over the rising tide of immigration came to a head with the trial of Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti. Sacco and Vanzetti were Italian immigrants who were accused of participating in a robbery and murder in Braintree, Massachusetts, in 1920. There was no direct evidence linking them to the crime, but—in addition to being immigrants—both men were anarchists who favored the destruction of the American market-based, capitalistic society through violence. At their trial, the district attorney emphasized Sacco and Vanzetti’s radical views, and the jury found them guilty on July 14, 1921.

Despite subsequent motions and appeals based on ballistics testing, recanted testimony, and an ex-convict’s confession, both men were executed on August 23, 1927.

Country that contributed greatly to western civilization is (question 5)
Mashcka [7]

Country that contributed greatly to western civilization is Ancient Athens.

Explanation:

  • Athenian democracy is the first known form of democratic political order in the history of mankind. It developed in the fifth century BC.
  • Every free citizen of Athens had the right to attend a session of the assembly, to listen to the debate on all issues, from what to do with the financial surplus, to whether or not to go to war. No slaves or women participated in political life.
  • About six thousand people attended the assembly at the time, and everyone was entitled to climb the booth and make known their position. It would then be voted by raising their hands.
  • When it came to the courts, there were no lawyers or prosecutors. If a citizen wanted justice, he had to go to trial and go to a jury. But in the end, not everything was just and ideal. Unfortunately, there were also "dirty games".
  • When extremely important voting took place, special tiles were used. Citizens would take a piece of clay and wrote the name of an Athenian who wanted to be expelled from the city for up to ten years
