QUESTION 9

Nativist sentiment in the US was characterized by anti - immigrant views. Option A is incorrect as nativists pushed for restrictive, not lenient, immigration laws. Option C is incorrect because nativist sentiment was about limiting rights for immigrants, not expanding citizenship. Option D is incorrect as the factory system's growth was more related to industrialization, not nativism. Nativist sentiment led to discrimination (like against Irish, Chinese immigrants) and inequality in areas such as jobs, housing, and social status.

A political machine is a party organization that controls votes and offers services in exchange for political support. Tweed and Tammany Hall (led by Boss Tweed) was a classic political machine in New York, using patronage and controlling local politics. Little Italy is an ethnic enclave, Ellis Island was an immigration station, and Angel Island was also an immigration station (for Asian immigrants), so they are not political machines.

Answer:

B. It resulted in extreme discrimination and inequality.
