The article also denies the claim that Americans would pursue jobs that immigrants are occupying by proving that in order to properly provide a good pay, they would put themselves out of business (Jacoby,1). Simply, other countries would be able to out do American business and farm owners because they have much cheaper labor.

Positively, is what the influence should be, while at the moment, immigration itself has been thrown on the national…

During the civil war, the Republican Party’s philosophy towards African Americans was linked to the concept of Manifest destiny; if African Americans were to achieve wealth and prosperity they needed to be granted free labour after the US civil war. Additionally, the economic depression of 1870 had a negative effect on civil rights as it introduced…
