they felt happy
Nativists generally supported the Emergency Quota Act of 1921 because it significantly restricted immigration, particularly from Southern and Eastern Europe, which they viewed as a threat to American culture and values. They believed that limiting the number of immigrants would preserve the social fabric and economic opportunities for native-born Americans. The act reflected nativist sentiments by implementing a quota system based on national origins, favoring immigrants from Northern and Western Europe. Overall, nativists viewed the act as a victory in their efforts to curb immigration and promote a homogeneous American identity.
