The influx of 2.4 million Jewish immigrants from eastern Europe increased anti-Semitism—prejudice against Jews. In some communities, landlords refused to rent apartments to Jewish tenants. Colleges limited the number of Jewish students they accepted. Many ads for jobs stated "Christians only."

Catholics were also targets religious prejudice. In 1928, the Democratic Party nominated New York Governor Al Smith, a Catholic, for president. Soon, rumors swept the country that if Smith were elected, the Catholic pope would run the United States.
