Question 2 • SSHS IUS002 US History II

Which of the following best describes the segregation in cities in the late 1800s and early 1900s?

Answer
A
Immigrants formed their own communities to support one another.
B
City planners forced ethnic groups to live in their own neighborhoods.
C
The wealthy class blocked the working poor from living in inner cities.
D
The growing middle class built their own communities in inner cities.

Explanation

Many immigrants settled in neighborhoods with people who shared their language, customs, or country of origin. Living near one another helped them find work, preserve traditions, and support each other as they adjusted to life in the city. This makes “Immigrants formed their own communities to support one another” the best description; city planners did not generally force all ethnic groups into separate neighborhoods.
