Answer:

<em>Chinese immigrants contribute to the opening of the west by helping to build the transcontinental railroads. The court ruled in favor of Chinese Americans in some cases.</em>

Explanation:

<em>The Opium Wars (1839-42, 1856-60) of the mid-nineteenth century between Great Britain and China left China in debt. Floods and drought contributed to an exodus of peasants from their farms, and many left the country to find work. When gold was discovered in the Sacramento Valley of California in 1848, a large uptick in Chinese immigrants entered the United States to join the California Gold Rush. </em>

<em> </em>

<em>Following an 1852 crop failure in China, over 20,000 Chinese immigrants came through San Francisco’s customs house (up from 2,716 the previous year) looking for work. Violence soon broke out between white miners and the new arrivals, much of it racially charged. In May 1852, California imposed a Foreign Miners Tax of $3 month meant to target Chinese miners, and crime and violence escalated. </em>

<em> </em>

<em>An 1854 Supreme Court Case, People v. Hall, ruled that the Chinese, like African Americans and Native Americans, were not allowed to testify in court, making it effectively impossible for Chinese immigrants to seek justice against the mounting violence. By 1870, Chinese miners had paid $5 million to the state of California via the Foreign Miners Tax, yet they faced continuing discrimination at work and in their camps.</em>

Answer:

Trains, Press, Compass, telegraph, Steam Engine

Explanation:

Trains: Trains were fast and were able to carry a lot of materials from one place to another in a short amount of time to increase productivity and development. On top of that, they were also good for transportation.

Press: The press was essentially a printer back in the mid 1400's. before the press was created, new papers were hand written and only high class noble were able to buy them. After the press was invented, spreading new was easier and cheaper for everyone to buy.

Compass: The compass was a major piece in any exploration. Nearly or all sailors used it to guide them around the ocean so that the sailors don't get lost in the middle of the ocean.

Telegraph: The telegraph was one of the first ways to transmit a message quickly. It was used by parts of the government, banks and news. In warfare, the telegraphs were used to transmit a message between the general and troops to gain an advantage over the enemy.

Steam Engine: The steam engine was one of the first ways to automate things in factories. They allowed machine to do the easier but tedious tasks while the workers did the more advanced tasks. On top of that, without the steam engine, trains and cars wouldn't have existed, so there would've been a major delay in transportation of both people and materials
