Immigration
In 1890 to 1920 the development of the passage of child labor laws by individual states was passed. During the period known as the Progressive Era (1890s to about 1920s) the U.S. government became increasingly activist in both domestic and foreign policy.
The 1921 Emergency Quota Act and the 1924 Immigration Act were the first laws since the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1884 that blocked or limited immigrant by law. Different quotas were put on different immigrant groups. Because they had not had substantial representation in America prior to 1890, groups like the Polish and Italians were given very small quotas.
