Answer 1 of the following:
- Gary Gerstle’s article offered a critique of the “Crevecoeurian Myth” through an examination of studies of European immigrants who came to America between 1880 and 1930. Is the “Crevecoeurian Myth” supported or undermined by our examination of American immigration history from the 1830s through the 1930s?
- Both the “know nothing” movement before the Civil War and the Anti-Chinese campaign after the Civil War can be called “nativist” movements voicing the fear that foreigners posed a dire threat to the wellbeing, and even survival, of American republican society. What were their crucial similarities? What were their crucial differences in targets, goals, and success?
