Answer:

Chinese exclusion act was a law passed in 1882 to ban the Chinese laborers from immigrating to the US.  the law was first to ban the immigration of the entire ethnic group. It also barred Chinese from acquiring Chinese citizenship. In the initial act, it only barred laborers, but in 1924 it banned all Chinese nationals from immigrating. The main reason for banning the Chinese was the xenophobia caused due to the jobs being taken by Chinese. They wanted to prevent American society from Chinese migrants.

What was the first territory to from the Mexican Cession to ask for admission to the nation?
svp [43]
Texas.

It was a separate country (after defeating Mexico and winning independence) for ten years before joining the US because it was broke and could sell off pieces of the country (now a state) to the US to pay off its debts.

It joined in 1845, four years before California.
