Nativists aimed to preserve the cultural identity and dominance of native-born Americans, often in opposition to Immigration. They sought to limit the influence of immigrants, particularly those from non-Western countries, fearing that new arrivals would disrupt social cohesion and threaten jobs. Nativism often manifested in policies and sentiments that promoted xenophobia and discrimination against immigrant groups. Ultimately, the goal was to protect what they perceived as the "American way of life."
