AP US History
Unit 6 – Industrialization and the Gilded Age, 1865–1898
Topic 6.9
How might America's industrial growth trajectory differ if immigration restrictions weren't relaxed during the mid-20th century?
The United States would still become a leading economic power due solely to its natural resources abundance.
It could slow down due to decreased labor supply and less entrepreneurial activity which often come with immigrants.
Technology advancements would compensate for any potential decrease in labor force numbers completely negating any effects of reduced immigration rates on industrial growth trajectory.
Industrialization process may accelerate as fewer immigrants meant less social tension and conflict over jobs and wages.
