Answer 2

Answer:

DOCUMENT D (Modified)

The qualities of the American people…are moral far more than

intellectual, and it is on the moral qualities of the English-speaking

race that our history, our victories, and all our future rest. There is

only one way in which you can lower those qualities or weaken

those characteristics, and that is by breeding them out. If a lower

race mixes with a higher in enough numbers, history teaches us

that the lower race will prevail. The lower race will absorb the

higher….

We are exposed to but a single danger, and that is by changing

the quality of our race and citizenship through the mixing of races

whose traditions and beliefs are wholly alien to ours…. The time

has certainly come…to restrict those immigrants.

Source: Senator Henry Cabot Lodge of Massachusetts made this

statement in 1891. The occasion was a debate in the U.S. Senate over a

proposed Literacy Act that would restrict future American immigration to

those who could read and write.
