Explanation:

Question 6

Nativists in the mid - 1800s were against immigration as they believed immigrants would take jobs from native - born Americans and disrupt the culture. Option A, C, D show positive views towards immigration which is opposite to nativist ideology. Option B shows a desire to limit immigration to protect jobs, which is in line with nativist beliefs.

• Option A: Withdrawing from foreign affairs has no relation to westward expansion.
• Option B: Expanding democracy was a reason as settlers wanted to spread democratic ideals westward.
• Option C: There was a lot of inexpensive farmland in the west, which attracted settlers.
• Option D: Returning to cottage industry is not related to westward expansion.
• Option H: Access to new economic markets in the west (like trade opportunities) was a reason for expansion.
• Option I: Ending slavery was not a main reason for westward expansion (westward expansion even led to debates over slavery in new territories, but it was not a driving reason for expansion itself).

So the three correct answers are B, C, H.

Answer:

B. "We must limit immigration to protect American jobs."
