Answer: In the early 1920s*, over a million foreigners entered the United States. Workers feared competition for jobs, and isolationists wanted minimal contact with Europe and feared that immigrants might foment revolution. In response to public demands for restrictive legislation, Congress acted quickly. It passed two laws that severely limited immigration by setting quotas on nationality, namely, the quota act of 1921 and the quota act of 1924.
The quota act of 1921 limited immigration to 3 percent of the number of foreign-born persons from a given nation counted in the 1910 Census.
The quota act of 1924 set quotas of 2 percent based on the Census of 1890 to reduce the number of immigrants from southern and eastern Europe.
*This answer is based off the assumption that the question is specifically referring to the surge of nativism in America following World War I.

Do you believe that the decision to drop the atomic bomb on Japan was the proper
decision? Why or Why not?
Answers
Answer:
no it was not because they could've just fought each other instead of us killing a bunch of innocent people :(
Answer:
I believe it was as, despite the high casualties of the bomb, I think that it helped to avoid the cost of a US land invasion of the Japanese mainland, and coming from a Japanese person's perspective, I believe this helped to avoid much more catastrophic casualties and bloodshed that may have occured if the US had persued a land invasion which would have extended the war for a much longer period of time, and therefore lead to civilian casualties despite the mass loss of life from the atomic bomb.

Explain the transition from isolationism to participation in WWII in a paragraph.
Answers
Answer:
Explanation:
Roosevelt was not an isolationist at heart. But WWI was still fresh in the minds of the general public. Many families had lost relatives which up until WWII was the most devastating war the world had seen. Many Americans didn't want to get involved in Europe's politics and problems. A marvelous movie has been made about this called The Americanization of Emily staring a very young Julie Andrews (who does not sing a note) and a very handsome earthy James Garner. It captures beautifully how Americans felt about getting involved in other people's wars.
Roosevelt himself wanted to help Great Britain, but the problems with domestic worries in the United States forced him to hesitate. He needed something to motivate the public into getting into a war they did not want.
Japan provided him with Pearl Harbor. The American Public was moved into action. Some of the Japanese knew it, including the architect of the attack on Pearl Harbor (Admiral Yamamoto who famously said "All we have accomplished was to awaken a sleeping giant.")
So began the bloodiest war the planet has ever seen.
I'm sorry this is so long, but you cannot talk about the transition period of WWII without knowing how people felt.

In 1865 President Andrew Johnson implemented a plan of Reconstruction that gave the white South a free hand in regulating the transition from slavery to freedom and offered no role to blacks in the politics of the South.
Explanation:
Answer:
After becoming president after Lincoln's murder, Johnson implimented a much less strict version of both Lincoln's and Congress's Reconstruction Plan. Johnson allowed all Ex-Confederate members to hold political office again, lowered Congress's 50 percent plan to lo less than 10 percent, and because Johnson was a white supremacist, he was sympathetic toward the ex-confederates and the "Lost Cause" so he missed many opprotunities to impugn them.
