80 points what is the most likely reason white southern businessman and plantation owners supported booker t. washington's accommodation strategy? question 3 options: they believed it was in the best interest of the state to desegregate public facilities and provide social equality for all races. washington threatened to encourage an uprising among african american people that would disrupt daily life in georgia. washington promised to encourage african americans to become skilled in common labor and not push for social equality. washington stated that if given economic and social equality, african american people would be loyal and willing to work for less pay.

The answer is option 3: Washington promised to encourage African Americans to become skilled in common labor and not push for social equality.

Booker T. Washington's accommodation strategy, expressed in his "Atlanta Compromise" (his speech at the opening of the Atlanta Cotton States and International Exposition in 1895), consisted of encouraging African Americans to accept discrimination and, instead, concentrate on educating themselves, gain farming and industrial skills, work hard and have patience, which eventually, would lead to the respect of whites toward them, and lead to African Americans being fully accepted as citizens and integrated into all strata of society.

For white southern businessmen and the plantation owners, who mostly were racists and firmly advocators of segregation, the speech didn't represent any threat to them since it didn't push for social equality and instead, it encouraged black people to work more.

angel island immigration station was an immigration station located in san francisco bay which worked from 1910 to 1940. the majority of immigrants that got there were from the asian hemisphere, specifically from china, japan, russia, and south asia, being china the country from where more people arrived.

the number of foreigners arriving at it took the attention of americans who feared the new arrivals would take their jobs. the work opportunities were not abundant due to the economic comedown of 1870 and the asians, as newcomers, were willing to work for cheaper wages. soon they started to be seen as a threat, which led to an increased discrimination against the chinese - the biggest ethnicity arrived at this station until 1915 when japanese immigrants outnumbered them - being considered as unsuitable americans hence their looks and social situation.

at the station, the immigrant's detention may vary depending on how long the interrogation process took: it could be weeks, months, or even years.

finally, in 1940 an explosion destroyed administration building located on the island, so the united states government decided to stop the process.
