C. The Chinese Exclusion Act stated that no more people from China can come in the US until 10 years has passed. This act did not allow Chinese people to come into the US and the ones who tried to come over were forced back to China.
D. The Chinese Exclusion Act was significant because this was a law that was against immigration, which caused there to be less people coming in the US. This also caused people to try to come to the US since they had to be a citizen or they had to have a parents who were citizens in order to come back if they came from China. People started lying and trying to get themselves in the US . This was also significant because these kind of acts continued to be made against immigrants unntil 1943. ]]> 2022-12-15 23:00:13 UTC https://padlet.com/240026ra/1mhjh1inbhls96v/wish/2422411208 John D.

C. John D. Rockefeller and Henry M. Flagler, his partner, created the Standard Oil Trust in 1870 where they tried to buy out all the other oil companies and be in complete control of all the oil.

This is also significant because most of the US oil came from Standard Oil Trust and Rockefeller was pretty much in control of all the oil that he could be in control of. He bought companies or made it impossible for the other companies to make any money so that they will eventually become part of his company.]]> 2022-12-15 23:10:55 UTC https://padlet.com/240026ra/1mhjh1inbhls96v/wish/2422415911 Pendleton Civil Service Reform Act (1883) 240117ap https://padlet.com/240026ra/1mhjh1inbhls96v/wish/2422420866 B.  Congress, Chester A. Arthur, President Garfield (made due to his murder)
C. The Pendleton Civil Service Reform Act stated that people who might be elected to have a office spot cannot be picked because they just support one person; they actually have to be qualified and ready for the job, which is why the Civil Service Commission was made to make sure that they were. This act also said that they cannot do anything (monetary and etc) for a person in office just to make sure that they will get the job. This was going against the spoils system that was made by President Jackson.
D. This was significant because this act made sure the people being put into office and having government jobs actually deserve their job and that they will be good at it, instead of getting the job since they support certain people. This was also significant because it helped them  feel safe expressing their beliefs while also making sure no one starts trying to raise more money. This was also significant because it was trying to break the spoils system but it never really happened in the state governments and it did not help all the people part of the federal government.]]> 2022-12-15 23:22:10 UTC https://padlet.com/240026ra/1mhjh1inbhls96v/wish/2422420866 Jacob Riis “How the Other Half Lives” (1890) 240003dk https://padlet.com/240026ra/1mhjh1inbhls96v/wish/2422449582 Originally published in 1890, this book is about studies among the tenements of New York and is an early publication of photojournalism by Jacob Riis, document squalid living conditions in New York City slums in the 1880s.
