Nativism
Ellis Island (1892)
Immigration restrictions were supported by labor unions (who feared losing jobs), nativists, and Social Darwinist (saw immigrants as socially inferior)
The Chinese Exclusion Act was the first attempt at an immigration quota. It will limit the amount of Chinese immigrants until the 1960’s. They implemented this because they thought that the Chinese immigrants were taking their jobs. They were afraid of job competition.
Nativism – the belief that the “native” culture is superior, and that all other minority groups are inferior by nature.
Ellis Island – where most immigrants came from Europe. They had a system of allowing new immigrants in. They would not allow sick immigrants in, had hospital quarters for them to receive treatment and dormitories for them to live in while determining if they were “good” immigrants to allow into the U.S. Ellis island is located across from the statue of liberty, a little ironic!

What new opportunities and social problems did the cities create for Americans? How were machine politics indicative of the problems of the Gilded Age?
Changing Cities
Streetcars; Skyscrapers
Ethnic Neighborhoods, tenements
1879 – each room had to at least have a window
Suburbs
Private v Public City
“City Beautiful” – an attempt to add tree lines and beauty to inner cities
Boss and Machine Politics
Boss Tweed – corrupt political boss, stole millions from public building funds
Drew their power from immigrant groups who were struggling
Provided jobs, funding, helped them find housing, provided food, but also stole money from their taxes
Did the bare minimum to gain votes, while they profited greatly
Streetcars, subways, railroads, better transportation made commuting more possible, which allowed for the development of urban areas. Your upper-class/middle class moved to suburbs to escape the crime, pollution, and poverty of the city. This increased the noticeability of the tenements and social segregation.
