What were the causes of nativism?Check all of the boxes that apply.

Answer
A
Nativists feared losing jobs to immigrants.
B
Nativists thought all Americans should be Catholics.
C
Nativists were upset that immigrants did not vote.
D
Nativists did not like the beliefs or religion of the new immigrants.

Explanation

Nativism was hostility toward immigrants, often driven by fears that newcomers would compete with native-born Americans for jobs and by prejudice against their religions and beliefs. Thus, fearing job loss and disliking immigrants’ beliefs or religion were causes. Nativists generally favored Protestantism rather than wanting all Americans to be Catholic, and immigrants’ voting was not the cause described here.
