Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 11.61 Nativism, Immigration Restriction, and Prohibition skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

Use the table titled 'Comparing 1920s Restrictive Policies' Which synthesis is best supported by the table?

AThe two policies were the same law with identical enforcement agencies.

BBoth policies eliminated all public disagreement by 1925.

CBoth policies applied only to overseas territories and not the states.

DImmigration restriction and Prohibition both used national law to regulate behavior or belonging, but they targeted different problems and had different outcomes.

Solution & Explanation:The table shows similarities in federal regulation and cultural conflict while preserving important differences between immigration policy and alcohol policy.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

Stimulus: A teacher asks students to evaluate a claim: 'Prohibition was simply a rural attack on cities.' Which revision is most accurate?

AProhibition had strong rural dry support and urban wet opposition in many places, but support and opposition varied within both settings.

BProhibition was passed by a city council and never became national policy.

CProhibition had no rural support and was created entirely by urban saloon owners.

DProhibition was only an immigration law with no cultural meaning.

Solution & Explanation:The rural-urban divide is useful but too simple by itself; class, religion, ethnicity, party politics, and reform ideals also mattered.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

Stimulus: A historian asks why a 1920s law could restrict European immigration by nationality but also bar many Asian immigrants through citizenship eligibility rules. Which explanation is most accurate?

AThe Volstead Act made citizenship eligibility the same as alcohol content.

BImmigration policy combined national-origin quotas with older racialized naturalization categories.

CThe quota system applied only to people born inside the United States.

DCongress had ended all racial categories in citizenship law before 1900.

Solution & Explanation:The 1924 law operated alongside naturalization rules that treated many Asian immigrants as ineligible for citizenship, creating exclusionary effects beyond European quotas.
