Step-by-step explanation:

1. Andrew Carnegie was the first person who implemented the practice of Vertical integration through his company, Carnegie Steel. Due to this, he was able to monopolize the industry and control the whole value chain.

Today, this practice would be considered illegal.

2. During the reconstruction era and the implementation of Jim Crow laws, life for African-Americans was getting extremely difficult. To escape persecution and violence, there was a mass immigration towards Northern States and these people were called Exodusters,

3. After the end of the American-Mexican war, over 75,000 Hispanics living in American annexed land were offered citizenship. A majority of of them accepted and stayed in the US. This was in stark contrast to the Chinese immigrants who were not given this right.
