3 ISSUES COMPARISON "REVISED"

The first social issue was about the nativists are organizing and attacking “non-white” group. Since the racial prejudice toward the “non-white”, people to be send was very limited. Ku Klux Klan, the organization of white men in the southern states of the United State, was trying to use violence to oppose social change to equal right for “non-white” people even though Marcus Garvey was preaching for nonwhite. Therefore, there are several ideas that point out to when the nativist was attacking the nonwhite group by History Alive and Zinn.

Another important issue was discussed about the liberals group who were trying to defend non-white groups. However, this action seemed helpless, agreed by both Zinn and Schweikart. Even though some supporter of nonwhite people were trying hard to maintain their position, such as some northern elite who secretly helped them in the south while sending their child to the all white private school, the power can only get some black acquaintances around the time of 1920s. In the other hand, Zinn thinks that the NACCP was lack of strength to face the mob violence and race hatred everywhere. Therefore, the even right was hard to establish during this period of time.

HA! had brought up that the US government who was taking the side of the Nativist. Zinn agrees with what History Alive! said, but Schweikart didn’t say anything about this. (He remain silent) Zinn stated, “Congress turbulent flood of immigrants by passing laws setting immigration quotes which favored Anglo-Saxons.” The US government had also limited different color of people immigrate to their country. He had showed the government took side of the Nativist by showing the unfair laws.
