PLEASE HELP Why were the Chinese so discriminated against as immigrants?

History
1 answer:
wel3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Chinese immigrants suffered, from their first arrivals in the 1820s, discrimination and rejection by a large part of society. To a greater or lesser extent, this rejection stemmed from the enormous cultural, ethnic, and social differences between immigrants and American society: from basic issues such as language and cultural background, to purely racist issues such as the ethnic component.

Right from the start, they were exposed to the racism of the European population, which culminated in massacres and the forced resettlement of Chinese migrants in Chinatowns in the 1870s. In legal terms, too, the Chinese were far worse off in the United States than most other ethnic minorities. They had to pay special taxes, were not allowed to marry partners of European descent and could not acquire American citizenship. The Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882, which closed American borders to Chinese immigrants for more than 60 years, brought additional suffering.

Answer:It gives insight into what the soldiers believed

Explanation: This document gives the perspective of the Civil War soldier showing their reason for fighting.

Primary sources that highlight a citizen's perspective provide the common American's experience. The reasons for the Civil War are often portrayed from the perspective of the government and/or the wealthy. Soldiers typically have a different reason for fighting. The Civil War was about states' rights or keeping the Union together, but for this soldier it was about the legacy of the country and an attempt to protect that legacy.
