Answer:

limit the number of immigrants from a given country.

Explanation:

The Emergency Quota Act, also known as the Immigration Restriction Act of 1921, was a response to a rise in immigration of Jewish people from Eastern Europe. These people were not considered desirable by the government, which led to their immigration being restricted, along with that of many others. It restricted the number of immigrants admitted from any country annually to 3% of the residents from that same country living in the United States. This meant that people from places like Germany had a higher quota than people from Eastern Europe or other non-European countries. The act set no limits for immigration from Latin America. The quota was again reduced by the Immigration Act of 1924 (to 2%).

The main goal of the emergency quota act of 1921 was <u>to limit the number of immigrants from a given country (Option 1).</u>

The Emergency Quota Act of 1921 was temporary legislation in the United States that established a quota system to limit the number of immigrants from a given country. The law annually provided immigration visas to 3% of the total number of people of each nationality living in the U.S., based on the 1910 national census.

Though it officially restricted immigrants from all countries, it actually discriminated people from southern and eastern Europe or other, non-European countries. And People of Northern Europe, who had similar cultures with Americans, were benefited the most: They had a higher quota and were more likely to be admitted to the U.S.

Why were children valued as laborers in coal mines during the industrial revolution?
Usimov [2.4K]
The use of the steam engine in the mills allowed the mills to move into the cities and towns from their previous locations along waterways because they no longer needed the water for power (Tuttle, 2001). Tuttle also connects that the increased work that could be done in the mills required more labor and factory owners had previously relied on orphans to do the work but now they are able to open up the work to more children. 
<span>Definition of Child Labor .</span><span>Throughout this report child labor will be focusing on labor outside the home; particularly that of child labor in cotton factories. Child labor did exist in other industries such as mining, and agriculture during the same time but the inclusion of these areas within this report would only increase the length and not the validity of this report. Many of the aspects discussed in this report were true in these other areas also. Children will be defined, as under the age of 16, despite this fact some of the report will involve workers over the age of 16.</span>
