| 1985a | (627) Concerned about good relations between Japan and the United States, Secretary of State Charles Evans Hughes had urged Congress to treat the Japanese like the Europeans. Indignation in Japan was so extreme after the passage of the act that Hughes feared it had "implanted the seeds of an antagonism" that were "sure to bear fruit in the future." Immigration restriction was just one aspect of the nativism that flourished in the 1920s. (724) But the Japanese Exclusion Act of 1924 unfortunately offset much of the new-found good will by causing an anti-American reaction in Japan. And later efforts failed to extend the naval limitations beyond battleships to other war vessels such as cruisers, destroyers, and submarines. |

| 1996a | (673) The National Origins Act fixed the pattern of immigration for the next four decades. Immigration from southern and eastern Europe was reduced to a trickle. The free flow of Europeans to America, a migration of classes and nationalities that had been unimpeded for 300 years, came to an end. (675) When boycotts and shispering campaigns failed to cleanse communities of Jews, Mexicans, Japanese, or others who offended their social code, the Klan resorted to floggings, kidnappings, acid mutilations, and murder. |

Immigration from southern and eastern Europe was reduced to a trickle, while the steady flow of northern and western Europeans continued. In Congress support for restriction was especially strong among rural members who saw it as a matter of race and religion and also of beliefs and loyalties.
