Question

A cartoon shows Uncle Sam standing on the shores of the United States at the end of a funnel. The wide end of the funnel rests on Europe.

Uncle Sam puts a gate at the end of the funnel labeled, 3 percent.

Answer 3

Why don't you look up each of the 4 choices and learn something about them while deciding if they might be the topic depicted?

Answer 4

Can you at least tell me if I have the right answer? I think it's the Immigration Act of 1924 but I'm not 100% @whpalmer4

Answer 5

The Niagara movement was a black civil rights group, so A is not the answer.
The Chinese Exclusion Act doesn't really have anything to do with European immigration, so C is not the answer. The Gentleman's Agreement of 1907 dealt with Japanese immigration, so D is not the answer either. B seems like a reasonable choice, although I thought the number was 2%, not 3%.

Answer 6

Thanks.
