Question

during the 1920s, how were immigrants from southern and eastern europe affected by the new quota system of immigration?

Answer 1

Immigrants from Southern and Eastern Europe were heavily restricted by the new quota system of immigration in the 1920s. The quotas limited immigration to the US to 150,000 people a year, and favored immigrants from Northern and Western Europe. This made it much more difficult for immigrants from Southern and Eastern Europe to enter the US.
