Up until the mid-19th century, most Irish immigrants in America were members of the Protestant middle class. When the Great Pota

to Famine hit Ireland in 1845, close to 1 million poor and uneducated Irish Catholics began pouring into America to escape starvation. Despised for their alien religious beliefs and unfamiliar accents by the American Protestant majority, the immigrants had trouble finding even menial jobs. When Irish Americans in the country's cities took to the streets on St. Patrick's Day to celebrate their heritage, newspapers portrayed them in cartoons as drunk, violent monkeys.The American Irish soon began to realize, however, that their large and growing numbers endowed them with a political power that had yet to be exploited. They started to organize, and their voting block, known as the "green machine," became an important swing vote for political hopefuls. Suddenly, annual St. Patrick's Day parades became a show of strength for Irish Americans, as well as a must-attend event for a slew of political candidates. In 1948, President Harry S. Truman attended New York City 's St. Patrick's Day parade, a proud moment for the many Irish Americans whose ancestors had to fight stereotypes and racial prejudice to find acceptance in the New World.All of the following are implied by the passage EXCEPTA. The Irish immigrants came to America to find new opportunities and break away from the scarcity in Ireland which was ravaged by the Potato Famine.B. Green Machines were first created to exploit the growing Irish population in America and form a formidable voter group.C. The first St. Patrick's Day celebrations were not welcomed positively by the American public.D. Most politicians who supported the cause of the Irish immigrants were Democrats.E. The Irish population in America had grown to more than several hundred thousands by the end of the mid 19th century.

Answer:

D. Most politicians who supported the cause of the Irish immigrants were Democrats

Explanation:

Even though, President Harry S. Truman is a democrat. The passage did not imply that "Most politicians who supported the cause of the Irish immigrants were Democrats."

Because the passage only made mention of the name of the President that once attended the St Patrick's Day parade in New York. And also there other political candidates who attended the Day but not that majority of the Democrats politicians support the cause of the Irish.

How did Manifest Destiny encourage westward expansion?
zavuch27 [327]

Manifest Destiny was a term that described the widespread belief in the mid-19th century that the United States had a special mission to extend west.

Explanation:

  • The concept was not particularly new, as Americans were already exploring and settling west, first across the Appalachian Mountains in the late 1700s and then, beyond the Mississippi River in the early 1790s.
  • But by presenting the concept of Western expansion as one's religious mission, the idea of manifest destiny struck a chord.
  • Although the phrase manifest destiny seems to have taken on a public mood in the mid-19th century, it has not been observed with universal approval.
  • Some at the time thought that they were simply putting pseudo-religious fields on a radiant craving and conquest.
