More on Nativism
  • In 1885, Congress repealed the Contract Labor Act
    which had allowed employers to recruit foreign
    laborers.
  • When employers brought in foreigners to replace
    striking workers it increased nativist feelings
    among laborers.
  • Southern and eastern Europeans were more likely
    victims of nativism than other European
    immigrants.
  • They tended to be victims of nativist attitudes
    because they were more often Catholic or Jewish.

9
The Temperance Movement
  • An organized campaign to eliminate alcohol
    consumption.
  • Supported prohibition or a ban on the manufacture
    and sale of alcoholic beverages.
  • Also opposed drinking because they saw links
    between saloons, immigrants, and political bosses.

    in cities.
  • The Comstock Law prohibited sending obscene
    materials through the U.S. mail.

  • By campaigning on an anti-vice platform a
    coalition of purity crusaders and other reformers
    were sometimes able to get machine candidates out
    of office.
