    1.National groups associated with the New Immigration were from Europe, Italians, Croats, Slovaks, Greeks, and Poles. The natives reactions were to help them assimilate into American society in exchange for votes, other atavists preached Christianity to them, creating settlement houses, and others turned antiforeignism. They thought the foreigners were taking away their jobs since they were willing to work for less. The role that Congress and organized labor played in regulating immigration was to stop any undesirables and the Chinese. Some effects of rapid urbanization were that religion no longer played an important part of a persons life. 2.Charles Darwins theory of evolution affected religion because the theory stated that man had evolved from lower life forms, not created by God. Modernists believed that the bible was neither historically nor scientifically accurate. Fundamentalists believed in the bible and everything it stated. The social gospel was the idea that the churches should solve the social issues. 3.Some of the trends in education were that grade-school education was mandatory, tax-supported schools, free textbooks, and teacher-training schools were made. African Americans were receiving higher levels of education and many gave back to the community. Higher education for all was also growing through federal grants and private philanthropy. Libraries were growing. Journalists cared more about pleasing everyone than getting the facts out. Dr. W. E. B. Du Bois graduated from Harvard and founded the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. William James helped further the field of psychology. Andrew Carnegie gave $60 million for the creation of libraries nationwide. 4.Writers of this period were: Edward Bellamy, Looking Backward; General Lewis Wallace, Ben Hurrah tale of the Christ; Horatio Alger. Poets of this period were :Emily Dickinson, Walt Whitman, Sidney Lanier. Reformers were Victoria Wood hull and Tennessee Claflin, both sisters who preached free love. Artists were Augustus Saint-Gardens, George Innless and John Singer Sargent. Women during this period were allowed to work and grew more independent. Many women were outspoken during this period. The National American Woman Suffrage Association was formed and women were allowed to vote on local matters. Temperance movements fared well during this time and the eighteenth amendment was made to the constitution which forbade the sale, consumption and transportation of alcohol.
