steP 2 Comparison and contrast

To answer the prompt, you’ll need to compare the migration policies and examples from the

latter half of the nineteenth century with those from the earlier half (1800 to 1848). Begin with

your notes from this chapter’s first Applying AP® Historical Thinking Skills exercise (p. 243). Con-

tinue with a graphic organizer that is similar to the one above for the first half of the nineteenth

century. You may use the first two columns or half of the above table as part of your new table,

as is shown here:
