Question 16 • OK-Oklahoma History
Answer:
Responses may vary but should include some or all of the following information: Most immigrants decided to join together through common heritage and religion in order to support each other. Their shared nationality, religion, and culture brought them a sense of comfort and community in Oklahoma. It also gave them protection against the discrimination against immigrants that was common in the United States, and it allowed them to retain their unique cultural attributes without becoming subsumed by the other cultures present in the US.
