When immigrants came to the United States, they were confronted by those who sought to force them to conform to American values. The two routes to assimilation were Anglo‐conformity and the melting pot. Anglo‐conformity was part of an Americanization process whereby immigrants were expected to adopt and emulate the values of white Anglo‐Saxon Protestants (WASPs)
