The correct answer is d. none of the above. Chinese immigrants started to pour in the United States during the early 19th century. The Chinese were attracted to better job opportunities in the United States, and earned wages that helped them sustain their families in China. Local people hated them dearly because they are willing to work for lower wages. Since they were considered foreigners, they were excluded from joining trade unions that would have given them better rights. Almost all trade unions hated the Chinese too.

The US recession of the early 1850s resulted in several anti-foreign worker laws, including the "Anti-Coolie Act" of 1862. The Chinese laborers who had been employed on railway construction in the West were particular targets of White resentment. Many employers and social groups, (like the "anti-coolie clubs" of white railway workers), discriminated against and abused the rights of Chinese immigrants. The Knights of Labor was a national labor rights organization that combated this discrimination.
