History
1 answer:
Anna [14]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:The Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 was the first significant law restricting immigration into the United States. Many Americans on the West Coast attributed declining wages and economic ills to Chinese workers. Although the Chinese composed only .002 percent of the nation's population, Congress passed the exclusion act to placate worker demands and assuage prevalent concerns about maintaining white "racial purity."

Which statement explains what Manifest Destiny is?
amm1812

Answer:

3. Expands the U.S. from the Atlantic ocean to the Pacific ocean

Explanation:

In the 1800s, many hoped for a better life farther west. Exciting images persuaded people to make the tough journey. The painting “American Progress” is one example. It supports the idea of Manifest Destiny, a phrase first written in 1845 by journalist John L. O’Sullivan. O’Sullivan believed that God wanted Americans to expand their nation to the Pacific Ocean. Manifest Destiny means Obvious Purpose.  Even though O'Sullivan wrote Manifest Destiny, the idea was already in existence.
