Well many union organizations were present during this time period and believed many different things, most notably the AFL and the Knights of Labor

anonymous · Answer

There wasn't a huge emphasis on minimum wage laws so that choice is out

anonymous · Answer

I think it might be A.

anonymous · Answer

There was a lot of strikes. I just did some research. One source said that the answer is A, another source said that the answer is D

anonymous · Answer

Hmmm..

anonymous · Answer

I got a third source saying D

Which of the following focused on helping immigrants adjust to life in America?
the Ellis Island staff

the Social Gospel movementions
 the settlement house movement

I said B

anonymous · Answer

Well the nativist organizations were against all immigration. Was there a specific reason you liked that choice?

anonymous · Answer

Nope, I just read about it not too long ago, and I'm gonna say C, I just finished this chapter and when it comes to questions my memory goes blank ._. But I know that the social gospel movement helped them

anonymous · Answer

C definintely. It couldn't be D because those were terrible conditions in the settlement housing.

anonymous · Answer

They are the same thing http://www.riissettlement.org/about-us/our-history-a-timeline/about-settlement-houses/

anonymous · Answer

Excellent point though. That being said, Jacob Riis took pictures of the place to show the world how horrible the conditions were.

anonymous · Answer

Very true. They were the best accommodation that could supply all of the immigrants with housing. In that way, they were a positive thing. I just did some research. Social Gospel was focused on equality for all, which was important for immigrants.
