What Is Nativism and why did it become prevalent?

Nativism Blamed immigrants for –problems in urban government (ie: political machines) –Bringing down wages –Doctrines of socialism, communism, anarchism American Protective Association (APA) Labor Leaders called for protection against foreign workers

Immigration Laws 1882: Restricted paupers, criminals, convicts 1882: Chinese Exclusion Act 1885: prohibited importation of workers under contract Eventually forbade: insane, polygamists, prostitutes, alcoholics, anarchists, people with contagious diseases 1917=Literacy test

Who are the people and organizations helping immigrants transition to life in America? Social Gospel=apply biblical teachings to problems associated with industrialization Advocated –abolition of child labor, –better working conditions for women, –one day off during the week, –right of every worker to a living wage. With the rise of the organized labor movement in the early 20th cent. the Social Gospel movement lost much of its appeal as an independent force. –many of its ideals were later embodied in the New Deal legislation of the 1930s.
