History

NARA [144]3 years ago

Answer:

Yes. The Founding Fathers were very influenced by the Enlightenment movement, especially by the philosopher John Locke. John Locke defended the idea that every one of us has natural rights, these natural rights are life, liberty, and property. The role of the government is defending those rights and make possible for them to be accomplished. Once the government fails to do so, people have the right to rebel against this government and form a new one that defends these rights. Because of that, the Founding Fathers justified the rebellion against the British.

Mazyrski [523]

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.

Answer: Reconstruction

<em>In the "corrupt bargain" of 1877, Democrats allowed Republican Rutherford B. Hayes to become President and in exchange he ended </em><em><u>Reconstruction/Federal occupation</u></em><em> in the south what allowing Jim Crow to reign supreme there</em>

The presidential election of 1876 was a controversial one in that there were 4 states which had unresolved votes. Democratic candidate, Samuel J. Tilden had won the popular vote and was poised to win the electoral college as well but a deal was struck between Rutherford and the Democrats that he would withdraw Federal troops from the south which was the last thing enforcing Reconstruction in the South.

In return the Democrats voted to accept a decision that would give Rutherford the contented electoral votes and upon being made president, he withdraw the Federal troops which allowed the Southern States to enforce Jim Crow laws.
