<p>Well weekends shouldn't count but if it's on there it doesn't matter.</p>
<p>For the DBQ: Probably weak. I also mentioned how British still occupied trading posts and encouraged Indians to fight Americans..leading to the hatred of Americans thing. There was a document about an Indian that was saying congrats to Americans for getting free I think..but I didn't use it. Economic activity..well Americans were in some major debt. They asked France and Netherlands (right?) for money. Started producing too much paper money that soon became worthless..the phrase "not worth a continental" came about.

<p>Okay, for Immigration, I chose the 2 topics that described both the old and the new immigrants.
Old Immigrants:
Northern Europe (Germany, Ireland)
Farmers
Nativism kinda grew in this period right?
Common signs in retail shops: "Irish need not Apply"</p>
<p>New Immigrants (also included 1920s period):
>Eastern/Southern Europe
>Competed for industrial jobs
>I didn't include this, but I SHOULD have mentioned the 1882 Chinese Exclusion Act when saying Irish even fought Asian immigrants over railroad jobs.
>Know-Nothing Party Developed (late 1800s)
>Laborers didn't like them because they did not speak a common language, and they were used to break up strikes
>Lived in slums
^^This brought in some HELPFUL treatment by those such as Jane Adams and the young college women who helped her form settlement houses for these immigrants to learn English and settle</p>
<p>During 1920s:
>Ku Klux Klan that favored nothing but the White Protestant
>Palmer Raids
>Red Scare
>Immigration Quotas (Immigration Act of 1924..something like that)
>Accused of bringing in supicious documents (i.e. communism, socialism)</p>
<p>Overall..resentment toward immigrants in both periods.</p>
<p>I should have done the antiwar/slavery though..I knew more about that.</p>
