How did nativists react to immigrants in california in the mid-1800s?

a.

b.
they built fences along california's border to keep illegal immigrants out.

c.
they welcomed immigrants who were willing to work for low wages.

d.
they attacked chinese immigrants and joined the know-nothing party.

The correct option is D

The end of the war in 1865 allowed the industrial development of the state. The population continued to grow, but soon a yellow hysteria was present in the state. In 1882 the number of Asian immigrants was limited by several acts that discriminated especially the Chinese population. During the presidency of Theodore Roosevelt there was a diplomatic treaty that limited the number of Japanese immigrants.

Much of the economic development of the state was due to the construction of the transcontinental railroad after the end of the war. During that same period, the government granted cheap land to citizens with the desire to populate the western territories.

is there options? or is it random words?

explanation:

when studying cause and effect, historians usually group the causes into different categories. for example, cultural causes reflect how a society’s literature and art convey the way the society saw itself in relation to the rest of the world. another resource that historians use to understand society is pop culture, which tells them the trends and ideas that are preferred by the common people. when studying cause and effect, it’s important to remember multiple causation, or the idea that an effect could have several causes and vice versa.  

the correct option is “cultural causes” since art and literature are related to the culture of a place. culture is determined by literature, art, music.

the correct option is “pop culture” since it reflects the likes and ideas of common people whereas the rest of the options do not focus on common people.  

the correct option is “multiple causation” since it refers to the idea that events are caused by multiple reasons, not just a single one.
