Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Johnson-Reid Act, also known as the Immigration Act of 1924, established a quota system for immigration to the United States. It limited the number of immigrants based on their country of origin and was aimed at reducing the influx of immigrants from Southern and Eastern Europe. The act was motivated by concerns about the impact of immigration on the country's social and economic fabric. It did not outlaw radical groups, normalize trade relations with Germany, or implement prohibition.
