Room 5: Chinese Exclusion Act Padlet.webm

# data[].attributes.body
The timeline tells how and why the Chinese began to immigrate to america and how the locals took them in with no love, and committed acts of hate against them leading to the government to ban them altogether.

I predict that the Chinese were barred from entering the united states because they were seen as taking jobs from Americans and were "taking over".

This document shows us just a little bit of how the Chinese were so unfairly treated, it was clear that the Americans did not like them at all. After all the horrible things they did to the Chinese such as spread Opium around, lynching any Chinese people they would see. It was not surprising that the Americans did not like the idea Chinese people were inhabiting their lands. tan

I predict the reason why Chinese immigration was restricted in 1882 was because Americans in California did not like the mass amount of Chinese invading their lands they would go so far as to lynch and riot against them.

After analyzing the timeline, I can see that the Opium Wars between China and Britain caused China to receive heavy losses, despite being kicked to the dirt twice, they were still being treated as if they weren't human. The Burlingame Treaty helped protect the immigrating Chinese people, they were still heavily abused such as the 17-20 Chinese people lynched in Los Angeles.

Source the document by identifying who wrote it, the year, and what type of document is it.  Make two conclusions about what you notice about the year of the source and the 1882 Chinese Exclusion Act.

Our document is a political comic from Puck Magazine drawn in the year 1882. The publication date of this image shows that it was published the same year as the Chinese Exclusion Act's creation, which is only 5 years after the reconstruction period, coming to prove that although the white Americans have come to accept African Americans in some ways to include them in the painting, they would not take in Chinese immigrants based on the image showing the building of the wall. The year 1882 also is notable because just 5 years after reconstruction, the people began to discriminate against the Chinese population, exploiting the, almost internal, racism, that both white and African Americans had on the Chinese people. Only 5 years after the African Americans were being lynched and being treated how they were, there are now newcomers, and the image depicting the building of this wall that includes the Black community can express the way that some African Americans viewed the Chinese.

The evidence shown in the image, including the building blocks and what they indicate, provides the ideas of jealousy, the anti-race laws and much more blocked out the Chinese people's acceptance into America. It also shows that the people sailing into China had somewhat more of an advantage than those leaving China to come into America.

I infer that Chinese immigration was restricted in 1882 because, based on the timeline, there was a HUGE population increase in the Chinese peoples coming to California, and the Americans (white Americans), realized that there were too many coming in and "taking their land."

What point do you think the illustrator was trying to make by having a immigrants, African Americans, and Civil War veterans building the wall to keep the Chinese laborers out?

I think that the illustrator was trying to show the irony in having minorities trying to keep out other minorities in this case the Chinese.

What does this cartoon suggest to you about why the Chinese Exclusion Act was written? Circle evidence in the cartoon to support your claim?
When you talk to a new person or anyone new you have your "walls up" if you don't like that person and thats what the picture represents in a way because, bricks are being stacked to make a wall and those bricks have words int them such as "fear, non American, Jealousy, Competition and act.." This wall has a history because even before this act Chinese where being attached excluded and killed. This cartoon represents how in a way the chineses

The timeline depicts how the Chinese population came to America, and their reasons. Many came because of the recruitment in building the railroads while others seemingly immigrated over because of the war. Just like African Americans, Chinese immigrants were also lynched, which kind of shows that they were also being treated like non-humans. I can also see a lot of fighting and death that happened upon the Chinese peoples.

# data[].attributes.body
How would you describe the building blocks that are being used to build the wall?

The building blocks that are being used to build the wall have words or phrases that describe the people's emotions or feelings towards the Chinese. Things like Jealousy, Law Against Race, Un American. The builders are using these phrases as their reasoning and reinforcing the wall that will keep the Chinese out.
