In the history of the United States, the Gilded Age refers to a period from the end of the Civil War and Reconstruction to the end of the 19th century. It was a period of massive industrial and economic growth. The United States had become the largest industrial nation surpassing all European nations. However, it was also a period of corruption, with big businesses and trusts dominating the economy through unethical business practices and influencing bureaucrats, legislators, and politicians. Nativism refers to the practice and policy of the US government to protect the interests of the natives of the United States against the immigrants. Millions of immigrants from different parts of the world had immigrated to the United States during the Gilded Age seeking opportunities in the rapidly growing economy. These immigrants had come mainly from Mexico, Canada, Southeastern and Northwestern Europe, and Asia. There was fear, apprehension, and hatred towards these new immigrants among the established citizens of the United States. Ideas of Social Darwinism and racism played a role in the development of nativism. They feared that this massive influx of immigrants would pose a threat to the white Anglo-Saxon race in the United States. Let's find out which of the following statements reflects the concept of nativism during the Gilded Age: Option 1: The quote presents a defense of the practice of forming trusts by businesses. Forming trusts was an unethical business practice most prevalent in the United States during the Gilded Age. It was a practice adopted by the businesses to destroy competition and maximize their profit and expansion. There was a growing opposition against this practice. The above quote is a counterattack on anti-trust people. This quote does not refer to nativism. Option 2: The quote presents a defense of the concept of nativism and also presents the Anglo-Saxon American perspective on nativism. Option 3: The quote refers to the rampant corruption of the bureaucracy during the Gilded Age. It has nothing to do with the concept of nativism. Option 4: The quote refers to the state of affairs of the businesses and how they were benefited by grants and privileges at the expanse of cities. This quote does not refer to the concept of nativism. Only option 2 refers to the concept of nativism during the Gilded Age, all other quotes correspond to other phenomenons of the Gilded Age. Therefore, option 2 is the correct answer.
