The term “carpetbaggers” refers to Northerners who moved to the South after the Civil War, during Reconstruction. Many carpetbaggers were said to have moved South for their own financial and political gains.
The correct answer is: "he law would apply to ethnic Chinese regardless of which Asian country they originated from".
The Chinese Exclusion Act was a US federal law enacted by the US goverment presided Chester A. Arthur in 1882. It prohibited Chinese women from migrating to the US, with the ultimate aim of preventing all members from a certain ethinical group or community from establishing themselves in the US.
The amendments introduced in 1884 tightened the previously accepted provisions that enabled former immigrants to leave and then return. After the amendments, they had to meet more strict requirements in order to do so. It also clarified that <u>these rulings were applicable to ethnic Chinese people regardless of which country they were coming from. </u>
<span>As
in any developing country, labor and employing companies always had
their differences. The Knights of Labor group was the first well
recognized labor union and it was all inclusive, meaning almost anybody
(women, blacks and but not Chinese) was welcomed. I think the Chinese
were admitted at a later date. After the American Federation of Labor
(AFL) was formed, the Knights of Labor fell out of favor and
disappeared.
The major difference was the Knights of Labor formed the foundation upon
which the AFL was born. Their demise was a natural evolution of the
labor movement in this country. The Knights of Labor lacked good
management and their inability to carry out successful strikes for their
members caused their ranks to be recruited by the AFL. </span>
