Answer:
c. They wanted immigrants barred from the United States.
Explanation:
Nativism refers to a political position that privileges the welfare and the interests of the people who have been born in certain place (the natives) over immigrants. As more and more immigrants moved to the United States in the late 19th century,<u> the nativist movement gained strength, and they wanted immigrants barred from the United States</u>, especially those coming from China, Italy, and Eastern Europe. The nativists scored some successes, especially with the passing of the Emergency Quota Act of 1921, which placed restrictions on how many immigrants could enter the United States. This Act was further expanded by the Immigration Act of 1924, which banned immigrants from Asia and set strict limits on immigrants from other parts of the world, especially Eastern Europe. This discriminatory policy stayed in force until the passage of the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965.
The two possible outcomes are:
1. The boomtown losses it's economic power, and people migrate away from it to other places that they consider better for living, and thus leaving it as a ghost town.
2. After the main income of the boomtown is lost, people put their efforts into other things that can make them survive and keep the town alive, maybe a timber industry, fishing, agriculture, tourism.
