The correct answer is A.

The Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 was a United States federal law prohibiting all immigration of Chinese labor.

From 1870 to 1880, Chinese immigrants represented the largest group of nonwhite immigrants in the U.S. at the time.

The Chinese immigrants were mostly men and they provided cheap labor, often working on farms, railroad construction and in low-paying industrial jobs. They were seen as unfair economic competition by many Americans. They were blamed for low wages and reduced job opportunities and for bringing drugs, crime and prostitution to the States.

<em>To many, they posed an economic danger as they held job taken away from white Americans.</em>

Match the push/pull factor to the correct type of factor for Blacks leaving the south during the Great Migration. Why did they l
Contact [7]

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

Considering that the PUSH factor is what determines why the blacks leave the south and the PULL factor determines what brought the blacks to their new destinations in the west or north. Hence, matching them together we have

1. Higher-paying jobs: - PULL FACTOR: this attracted the black people to move towards West and North for proverbial greener pasture

2. Family: - PULL FACTOR: the enthusiasm and willingness to join their families or cater for them pull many out of the southern part

3. Segregation: - PUSH FACTOR: the issue of segregation plays a negative impact on the success of blacks in the south, as it affects their opportunities, hence the need to move away from the south to either west or north.

4. Low paying jobs (sharecropping): - PUSH FACTOR: the issue of low paying jobs push them to look for places where there are high paying jobs

5. Jim Crow Laws: - PUSH FACTOR: Jim Crow laws are laws specifically designed in the Southern United States to disenfranchise and limit the opportunity for blacks to succeed, hence, this forces many of them to immigrate for a better environment.
