Answer: because they were concerned about foreign radicals bringing ideas as Socialism, Communism, and Anarchism invading the United States, especially from southern and eastern Europe.

Explanation:

Many traditionalists were shocked at the social turmoil of 1919. They located the germs of dangerous radicalism in the multiethnic cities teeming with immigrants and foreign ideas. The reactionary conservatism of the 1920s fed on the growing popularity of nativism, Anglo-Saxon racism, and militant Protestantism. This scenario generated new efforts to restrict immigration. An alarmed Congress passed the Emergency Immigration Act of 1921, which restricted European arrivals each year to 3 percent of the total number of each nationality represented in the 1910 census.

Because, predominantly in the agricultural Western region of the United States, the demand for cheap labor was extremely high at the time. The source of this cheap labor were Mexican immigrants.

How did John D. Rockfeller impact modern society?
zlopas [31]
<span>His impact on the Industrial Revolution in America was the biggest of any single U.S. citizen. His trust of oil, and control of the railroads, and oil tank cars on the railroad allowed him immense power since the federal government instituted no regulation of business to allow competition to develop in the various industries totally or in-part controlled by Rockefeller. This ended of course when Theodore Roosevelt broke the industrial trusts early in the 20th century. Rockefeller did go on to institute many worthwhile charities and foundations that have and continue to benefit people around the world. Rockefeller had no peer when it came to making business decisions that only he would make with regular success that eventually made him the wealthiest person in United States history. Using today's wealth standards his personal fortune was well over 1/4 of a trillion (that's with a T) dollars.</span>

What motivated England to colonize the New World? How similar to or different from Spain’s motives, dis-cussed in Chapter 1, wer
Tema [17]

Answer:

In the first place, <u>to create its ultramarine Empire just like Spain and Portugal. </u>And second, <u>because England was late on this process </u>because of the political problems and the constant wars which were involved. But the colonization process of what later became known as the Thirteen Colonies was different from Spain or Portugal because <u>the puritans were going there to settle, and these colonies were created under moral, philosophical and religious rules, which motivated different behaviors related to trade and market.</u>

Explanation:

The religious persecution of Puritans, the English Calvinists, especially after the creation of Anglicanism with Henry VIII, led them to move to America. The objective was to create living spaces where they could freely exercise their religious precepts. In addition to the political and religious disputes, which in different periods took Anglicans and Puritans to America, there was also the expulsion of a large part of the peasant population from the fields, mainly with the Fences. This process of land encircling by large landowners generated an urban population swelling, contributing for part of the population to emigrate to North America. All these aspects lead to creating colonies strictly based on the settlement, different from the Iberian colonization that was based on exploration.

What events moved the United States from neutrality to war
Ann [662]
Assuming you're referring to World War I, the main event that moved the United States from neutrality to war was the sinking of the Lusitania, since many Americans died, and it was the Germans who were responsible.
