How did the development of the beer and whiskey league reflect the ethnic tension between "nativists" and immigrants in the mid 1800s?

The Beer and Whiskey League, officially American Association (1882-1891), was created to compete against the National League (NL) which was viewed as prude.

In the late 1800s baseball was becoming a national interest and because of that was the subject of political dispute as to its limits. It became representative of the conflict between nativist Americans and immigrants.

Nativists in the baseball represented by the National League did not want alcohol sale in the ballparks nor games on Sundays. On the other hand, for many people, especially German and Eastern European immigrants alcohol and Sunday games were an essential part of baseball.

Because of this conflict brewers and distillers in Louisville, Cincinnatti, and Pittsburgh, cities with large populations of immigrants, created the American Association. For these people, beer and baseball was an important part of their cultural lives.

In this period its clear how nativists and immigrants fought for their different views on baseball accordingly to their cultural framings. For many decades yet the association between immigrants and alcohol would be used by racist nativists against immigrant populations.

question: write a report analyzing through articles of confederation.

answer: the articles of confederation the united states constitution was written when the people feared strong government the new nation needed some kind of organization to hold states together to them fend off future attacks and make a stronger support system through the states and people the states bonded through a friendship that best served as a defense against a invasion and states were not allowed to use taxes as a way to discourage treaties, and states were extremely limited in their dealings with foreign nations the strengths were that the congress has the highest power in the nation because of   fear of monarchy congress had the sole power to declare war and assign treaties disputes between states and territorial issues were to be brought to congress and weaknesses were the lack of power given to congress the articles gave congress the power to pass laws but no power to enforce those laws if a state did not support a federal law that state could simply ignore it congress had no power to levy taxes or regulate trade.

explanation: so like every argument they have strengths and weaknesses but in this case there were more weaknesses but they managed o get through it and make an agreement
