Answer 2

Answer:

Answer is at the bottom!!

Explanation:

Immigrants that first arrived in the United States may have felt hopeful - Here was there chance to start anew in another land! Free to exercise their own rights!

However, newly arrived immigrants may also have felt anxious. They didn't know the lay of the land, they weren't aware of all of the laws, and they also had to deal with the natives accusing them of stealing work simply because the immigrants would work for a lower pay.

Hope this helps!!
