Screen Paintings

Explanation:

During the ruling of military clan called the Tokugawa, Japan saw how a lively urban culture had its beginning.  People from the town started to use their imagination in order to narrate stories about their peers and these kind of stories became inspiration to create advertisements for the floating world by means of cheap woodblock prints and guidebooks.

These kind of paintings, that contained jewel-like pigments and really hard labor were easy to acquire by means of a patron.

A. The passage of the Emergency Quota Act and the Sacco and Vanzetti Trial.

Explanation:

The Emergency Quota Act of 1921 limits the number of immigrants to be allowed entry into the United States. This Act provides a restriction to the entry of immigrants into the country.

The Sacco and Vanzetti Trial revolves around the trial of two Italian immigrants, Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti on the grounds of murdering two American shoe company employees. Though the main basis of the 'accused' was based on the description of eyewitnesses that they were two "Italian looking" men, Sacco and Vanzetti's trial became more famous because of the unfair nature of the conviction. The duo was charged guilty and executed for murder.

These two events best support the image of the 1920s as a decade of nativist feelings in the history of America.
