Between 1870 and 1900, nearly 12 million immigrants arrived--more foreign-born people than had come to the country in the preceding 70 years. During the 1870s and 1880s, the majority came from Germany, Ireland, and England--the principal source of immigration before the Civil War. Even so, a relatively large group of Chinese immigrated to the United States between the start of the California gold rush in 1849 and 1882, when federal law stopped their immigration.]]> 2017-06-11 16:31:17 UTC https://padlet.com/gfumusa/kqv8e1qau4q9/wish/176000316 China in the 1700s gfraser3 https://padlet.com/gfumusa/kqv8e1qau4q9/wish/176000771  In the 1700's the people of China were dominated by the imperial system under the powerful Qing (aka Ch’ing or Manchu) dynasty and the Chinese feudal system kept the peasants in their place.]]> 2017-06-11 16:41:03 UTC https://padlet.com/gfumusa/kqv8e1qau4q9/wish/176000771 Arrived in the U.S gfraser3 https://padlet.com/gfumusa/kqv8e1qau4q9/wish/176002213 The Chinese brought their language, culture, and customs to the U.S. Over time they became native speakers of English and integrated into the mainstream of society and became a part of the population.

My grandfather was here in America. The only thing that kept my family in China together was my father because he was making $25 a month working in a grocery store in Texas. He sent $15 of that home to China. I think the conversion rate was around 30 to 1 at that time. I’m just guessing. So it would be a lot of money then." - Anonymous]]> 2017-06-11 17:21:51 UTC https://padlet.com/gfumusa/kqv8e1qau4q9/wish/176002887 Chinese Exclusion Act Article 1 gfraser3 https://padlet.com/gfumusa/kqv8e1qau4q9/wish/176004147 2017-06-11 17:46:21 UTC https://padlet.com/gfumusa/kqv8e1qau4q9/wish/176004147 MAPS gfumusa https://padlet.com/gfumusa/kqv8e1qau4q9/wish/176013713 2017-06-11 20:52:27 UTC https://padlet.com/gfumusa/kqv8e1qau4q9/wish/176013713 mhfavel https://padlet.com/gfumusa/kqv8e1qau4q9/wish/176017079 2017-06-11 21:46:12 UTC https://padlet.com/gfumusa/kqv8e1qau4q9/wish/176017079 STATISTICS gfumusa https://padlet.com/gfumusa/kqv8e1qau4q9/wish/176022099 2017-06-11 23:24:57 UTC https://padlet.com/gfumusa/kqv8e1qau4q9/wish/176022099 Number of Chinese Immigrants in the Metropolitan Area of the US gfumusa https://padlet.com/gfumusa/kqv8e1qau4q9/wish/176022910 2017-06-11 23:43:03 UTC https://padlet.com/gfumusa/kqv8e1qau4q9/wish/176022910 ARTICLES gfumusa https://padlet.com/gfumusa/kqv8e1qau4q9/wish/176022997 2017-06-11 23:44:01 UTC https://padlet.com/gfumusa/kqv8e1qau4q9/wish/176022997 REAL STORIES gfumusa https://padlet.com/gfumusa/kqv8e1qau4q9/wish/176031329 2017-06-12 02:02:19 UTC https://padlet.com/gfumusa/kqv8e1qau4q9/wish/176031329 MORE INFORMATION gfumusa https://padlet.com/gfumusa/kqv8e1qau4q9/wish/176031400 2017-06-12 02:03:23 UTC https://padlet.com/gfumusa/kqv8e1qau4q9/wish/176031400 CHINESE IMMIGRATION VOCAB gfumusa https://padlet.com/gfumusa/kqv8e1qau4q9/wish/176032317 2017-06-12 02:17:04 UTC https://padlet.com/gfumusa/kqv8e1qau4q9/wish/176032317 VIDEO ON CHINESE IMMIGRATION gfumusa https://padlet.com/gfumusa/kqv8e1qau4q9/wish/176032334 2017-06-12 02:17:14 UTC https://padlet.com/gfumusa/kqv8e1qau4q9/wish/176032334 gfumusa https://padlet.com/gfumusa/kqv8e1qau4q9/wish/176032410 Chinese Immigration Act of 1885 - A Canadian Act of Parliament that put a head tax of $50 on every China Chinese immigrant moving to Canada
