The 1920s Immigration period is significant because it marked a dramatic shift in U.S. immigration policy and societal attitudes. The introduction of restrictive laws, such as the Immigration Act of 1924, aimed to limit the influx of immigrants from Southern and Eastern Europe, reflecting nativist sentiments and racial prejudices of the time. This era also saw the rise of cultural diversity, as immigrants contributed to the economic growth and cultural fabric of American society, influencing music, art, and social movements. Understanding this period helps to contextualize contemporary immigration debates and the ongoing challenges of integration and identity in the U.S.
Nativism and racism increased in the 1920s and led to changes in Immigration laws.
