Hey Tanya. What do you need help with?

Answer 3

When an economic depression occurred in 1873, many Americans lost their jobs. Dennis Kearney, an Irish immigrant, led the Workingman's Party in San Francisco. He charged that Chinese immigrants took away jobs from white Americans by working at low "coolie wages." Kearney made many speeches against the Chinese ridiculing their language, religion, and customs. He ended his speeches by demanding, "The Chinese must go!" Nativist sentiment grew against the Chinese.


Responding to the supposed "Yellow Peril" in the West, Congress passed the Chinese Exclusion Act in 1882. It stopped further Chinese immigration and prevented Chinese in the United States from becoming naturalized citizens. This act was not changed until World War II (when China was an important U.S. ally).

In the 1890s, Western farmers needing a source of cheap labor began to encourage the immigration of Japanese. About 7,000 Japanese arrived each year until 1907, when the U.S. and Japanese governments made a "Gentlemen's Agreement" to slow down the immigration. By 1910, over 70,000 people of Japanese ancestry were living in the United States, most of them in California.
