Did the "Native American" political party and other nativists contribute to anti-immigrant sentiments in the 1800 and 1900s? Defend your response
What will be an ideal response?
Suggested Response: The Native American party insisted on 21 years residency before new immigrants could be eligible for citizenship. They were mainly concerned about immigrant voting because they were not prepared to be self-governing since immigrants came from countries that were governed by monarchs. At first they were only hostile towards Irish and Catholic and later their hostility to include any "foreigner" who expressed socialist, anarchist or other radical ideas. Their nativist ideals were expressed in newspaper editorials and political cartoons. They were also concerned with the numbers of new immigrants who were taking up available land in the West and Mid-West and their growing numbers in urban areas. Anti-immigrant sentiment fueled xenophobia and fear of the growing political power of immigrants.
