The Library of Congress

After the end of the civil war, immigrants began to flow to the United States again. Between 1870 and 1900 nearly 12 million immigrants have arrived - more foreigners were born in the last 70 years. In the 1870s and 1880s, most people came from Germany, Ireland and the UK - this was the main cause of immigration before the Civil War. Nonetheless, a relatively large Chinese group emigrated to the United States to block immigration between the California Gold Rush in 1849 and the Federal law in 1842.

Most immigrants came to America to settle forever but many immigrants worked for a while and returned home with savings from work. For example, most Chinese immigrants are single men who worked after returning home for a while. At first, they were fascinated by California, attracted by the California gold rush. Many people forecast money themselves or work for other miners. Soon many people began their business, such as restaurant, laundry, other personal service issues. After the gold rush, Chinese immigrants worked as agricultural workers and worked through the work of western railway construction workers and low wage industries.

Along with the beginning of the difficult economic situation of the 1970s, other immigrants and European Americans traditionally began to compete for the work reserved for the Chinese. Economic competition is disliked, racial allegations and even hatred are gone. This feeling is accompanied by anti-Chinese riots and pressure especially in California state, and Chinese immigrants from the United States are excluded. The result of this pressure is "China's exclusion method" passed by Congress in 1882. The bill nearly ended Chinese immigrants for nearly a century. As the following document shows, there are many opinions on this issue.
