Nativism is essentially the belief that the people who were born in a country should be favored rather than immigrants. This idea flared up in some of the American people after World War I because of patriotism, isolationism, and also the Red Scare.
After World War I, many people became isolationists, even some people in Congress. This meant that they did not want to become involved with foreign nations because they feared joining another war. Isolationism, along with the newfound patriotism that Americans found after the war, caused many people to not want immigrants in the country and wanted themselves to be favored.
The Red Scare also contributed to the flare-up of nativism after World War I. The First Red Scare happened after the Bolshevik Revolution and was a time where many Americans feared communism would spread to the United States and around the world. Some people even believed there were spies in the government trying to spread communism. This caused a lot of people to not want immigrants to enter the country, as they believed they were communists.
They could have had second thoughts and wanted to not be a Jew so then they wouldn’t be put as slaves or maybe they thought their Jewish god wasn’t helping them because the Jewish god doesn’t like them
Answer and Explanation:
Generally, sports are something that is a common and frequent argument between which or what team is better. Many people will bring sports into a political statement or argument, whether that means that which state is better in general, which team is most voted the best, or just a plain argument in general.
So yes, sports are always a political statement. From the simple games of a childhood sport game, to the Olympics. It is a constant never-ending battle of who and what sports and people on the teams are the best.

I believe it would be the spy system. During the war, some americans were for and against the war and independence. To keep in the know of what the british were planning, there was an elaborate spy system to spread information on the british troops where people acted as they were for british rule. :)
hope this helps!!
