<span>Despite his personal opposition to slavery, when President Abraham Lincoln took office in 1861 he insisted that his constitutional duty was to keep the nation together, not to abolish slavery. He conducted the first year of the war with the goal of reuniting the Union, but wartime events, including heavy military losses and the many slaves who escaped behind Union battle lines, forced him to contend with the issue of slavery. He issued a preliminary Emancipation Proclamation on September 22, 1862 and the final version on January 1, 1863, fundamentally changing the meaning of the war.</span>

lesantik [10]

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>
