Fake sciences claimed that whites were smarter and more capable than other races.
One result of nativist fears of new immigrants was the rise of restrictive immigration laws in the United States, such as the Immigration Act of 1924. These laws aimed to limit the number of immigrants from certain countries, particularly those deemed "undesirable," and favored immigrants from Northern and Western Europe. This reflected a broader sentiment of xenophobia and a desire to preserve a perceived national identity, which often marginalized immigrants from Southern and Eastern Europe, as well as other regions.
The American Party was a nativist party formed to keep immigrants out of the U.S. that had up to 500,000 members at one point. This group was part of the Know Nothing movement.
Nativist beliefs are centered around the idea that one's own culture, ethnicity, or nationality is superior to others. This can manifest in hostility towards immigrants, support for nationalist policies, and the belief in protecting one's own interests over those of outsiders. Nativism often promotes a sense of exclusivity and can lead to discrimination and xenophobia.
