Answer:

A localist reaction against Chinese immigration, which contributed a large number of workers who were mainly employed on the west coast of the United States.

Explanation:

Hello!

At the end of the 1840s, gold was discovered in California, which caused a great movement of people who came with the hope of obtaining great economic benefits. Many immigrants arrived from China.

In 1873, the New York bank Jay Cooke and Company went bankrupt, causing a financial crisis that hit California economically.

In the 1880s, the estimated number of Chinese in California was 100,000.

In this climate of economic uncertainty, white workers blamed the Chinese for representing unfair competition, since they often accepted jobs for a low payment. The Chinese population began to suffer many acts of violence.

The Chinese exclusion act of 1882 suspended the immigration of Chinese for 10 years.

What is the "heliocentric theory?"
Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

A. The theory that the Sun is the center of the universe

Explanation:

Unquestionably, the Heliocentric Revolution is among the most important scientific breakthroughs ever. It involved the systematic replacement of the more recent Heliocentric Model, which accorded the sun global priority, with the earlier Geocentric Model, which put Earth at the center of the universe. From a philosophical standpoint, this would also alter how Western philosophers would need to redefine our significance in the cosmos. By casting doubt on their alleged infallibility in the sciences, it would politically undercut the influence of established religion, which supported the Geocentric model to a great extent.
