How do the events that unfolded during and after the Haymarket riot in Chicago illustrate the power of nativism in the United States?
What will be an ideal response?
Americans were more willing to believe that immigrant "outsiders" were the more likely culprit for their "other-ness," and therefore were more prone to blame and retribution for crimes. During the Haymarket riot, recent immigrants were blamed, and even afterwards, their actions were described as "un-American," a term that promotes ethnocentricity and fear of difference.
