Which of these is the best example of organized nativism?

Answer
A
the processing stations at Ellis Island and Angel Island
B
the medical examination of incoming immigrants
C
the 1862 Homestead Act
D
the Know-Nothing Party

Explanation

Organized nativism means a coordinated political movement opposing immigration and favoring native-born Americans. The Know-Nothing Party organized politically around anti-immigrant and anti-Catholic views, so it is the best example. Ellis Island and Angel Island processing and medical examinations were government procedures, while the Homestead Act encouraged settlement of western land.
