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>

What were the effects of the massive influx of immigration to the u.s in the late 1800s
Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer:

1. It Created Ethnic Diversity

2. It Facilitated Industry

3. It inspired Conflict

4. It Built America

Explanation:

1. 1870s and 1880s immigration was northern European, Ireland, England and Germany. Then came eastern and southern Europeans in Scandinavians, and Asians. Neighborhoods in places like NYC were dedicated to their own ethic groups, an example is "Little Italy".

2. This helped create a lot of simplified tasks for unskilled workers instead of skilled worker who were payed much more. 2/3rds of workers in Chicago were then Immigrants. This made some groups go into specific industries. For example, Jews went into the Garment Industry most of the time.

3. Society was conflicted on the arrival of Immigrants at the time. Low wages and unemployment was blamed on Immigrants, as well as the cause of poverty and crime. Laws were passed like the 1882 Chinese Exclusion act, and the 1894 Immigration Restriction League.

4. Closer to 50% of Immigrants actually only came to the US for economic reasons and went here to gain easy money and they went back to their home country. Around 30-50% of Italian immigrants actually went back to Italy after only 5 years. Many still became part of American society, and now millions of people can trace back their roots to Immigrant Groups.

Which text is valuable for gaining context about a historical event but is unreliable as evidence
Mars2501 [29]

Answer: Secondary historical sources.

Explanation:

Two types of sources, primary and secondary, have generally been represented in history. The primary sources are artefacts, documents, records, and other raw, source material, and they serve primarily as a source of information for the historian.

Secondary sources include quotes, comments and the like. For many historians, secondary sources create problems, they may be useful, but they need to be correctly interpreted. Because of their form, they are subject to change (because the quotation can be distorted over time and get another meaning), so they should be carefully handled. Therefore, they are distrustful of context and unreliable for proof.

Which of the following contributed to the increase in power of the French monarchy during the 1100s
Lana71 [14]

The facts that the French kings had amassed a large amount of land and advocated "Feudalism" as a contributed to the increase in power of the French monarchy during the 1100s.

Explanation:

The French monarchy was known for ruling strictly. Also in the eleventh century, the French kings started to become more authoritative and the influence of the Pope was becoming less.

The Feudal system also helped the King to have complete control over the whole territory and gather the maximum amount of wealth in the royal treasury.

Also, the expansion into the English Channel by William II contributed towards the French monarchy's rising power.
