Question

Did the Irish succeed in the factors set up by WASPs?

A) Yes, they fully assimilated into American culture.
B) No, they maintained their cultural identity.
C) Yes, they created a separate Irish-American society.
D) No, they isolated themselves from American society.

Answer 1

The Irish immigrants did not fully assimilate into American culture as the WASPs desired. They maintained their cultural identity and formed a separate Irish-American society.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Irish immigrants did not fully assimilate into American culture as the WASPs desired. Option B) No, they maintained their cultural identity is the correct answer. The Irish immigrants faced discrimination and prejudice in the United States due to their cultural and religious differences. They formed tight-knit communities and preserved their language, religion, and culture. Their assimilation process was more focused on establishing a separate Irish-American society than fully assimilating into the dominant WASP culture.
