Question

The National Origins Act of 1924 primarily attempted to exclude Italians, Jews, and Slavs based on their national origin. The act established quotas for immigrants based on their countries of origin, with the purpose of reducing the number of immigrants from Southern and Eastern Europe. The quotas were based on the percentage of each nationality in the U.S. population in 1890, a time when fewer immigrants from Southern and Eastern Europe had arrived in the country. This favored immigrants from Northern and Western Europe, while limiting the number of immigrants from Southern and Eastern Europe, including Italians, Jews, and Slavs.
