What did immigrants do to disprove the accusations made by nativists?
They tried to earn respect by working hard and living by the rules.... In a sense it was what the immigrants to the US *did* not do that showed that the nativists fears were unfounded. There was never a concerted effort by outside groups to change US society by flooding the country with adherents to foreign cause. Almost all immigrants came to the US motivated by either a desire to flee poverty or persecution or by a desire to take advantage of the economic opportunities in the US.

Did Political machines have a positive or negative effect on America?
Political Machines developed in cities are were run by men who were "professional" politicians in the sense that the purpose of the machine was to keep "friends" in office and to povide the needed votes to "elect" those friends. The leader of the machine did not have to be an elected official. Most were not. The purpose was to increase the profit of the machine by the use of graft, bribes, threats, and election fixing. As one investigator into machines said, the machine was always working for its pockets. Machines got the officials to grant the machine kickbacks, grants, contracts for city work. . .all at exorbitant prices. The Tweed Ring in New York, for example, charged the city $179,000 for four tables and forty chairs. The most interesting item was "Brooms, ect." for $41,190.95!! Many machine members got city jobs that did not exist and machine party member names were listed on the city payroll lists and paid out of taxpayer money. Machines contributed nothing to the economic health and safety of the city, but cost the taxpayers millions of dollars.
Describe some of the reasons for emigration as well as the conditions encountered by immigrants as they sought a new life in America?
People would leave their countries to come to America because of political problems, they wanted freedom, things like that. Once they got to America, life was not as easy as they would have hoped. There were some factories that took advantage of the fact that most immigrants didn't know what was going on. They would take immigrants in to work with them for way less money than they should have been earning. Since immigrants didn't have any money, they would take any job that they could get. For example, the Triangle Factory was one of these sneaky factories. They would actually lock their workers up in the rooms they worked in so they wouldn't try to escape. If the immigrants complained about any of the work conditions, the people in charge would threaten to take their job away.
