Why did nativist dislike the new immigrants?

The correct answer is C. They supposedly took jobs from white Americans

Explanation:

Nativism is a political perspective that promotes the welfare and interests of natives in a territory over those of immigrants. This political perspective emerged in the 19th century in the U.S. and persist to this day. Additionally, this was especially strong during the 20th century when thousands of immigrants moved to the U.S. to settle in cities and work in factories as this was a growing sector in the country. Moreover, nativists argued immigrants took the jobs and opportunities of white Americans, and therefore immigration should be restricted as natives (white Americans) should be first than immigrants. Thus, nativist dislike immigrants because "they supposedly took jobs from white Americans."

one of the main reasons was definitely slavery. back in 1861, republican abraham lincoln was elected and ended up being a major influence in the slavery business. slavery greatly affected the texas economy because back in 1845 during the annexation of texas, slaves became a big part of the texas population. many texans that were in favor of the secession influenced groups through party ties.
