Answer (3)
The majority of Chinese imigrants from this time moved to the U.S for possibly the Gold Rush, or to find a better life. For eternity white people always believe they were the best race (although the chinese were much smarter about their sitiuation and outworked most Americans), as a result all races were discriminated against jealous Whites Hope this helps!
Most Chinese Immigrants in the US at this time came over because of the gold rush. I would imagine they were treated poorly by the white people.
From the 1860s to the 1890s, most Chinese immigrants worked in labor-intensive jobs such as railroad construction, mining, and agriculture. In cities like San Francisco, they created vibrant communities, particularly in Chinatown, while facing considerable discrimination and hardship. Their resilience led to the establishment of supportive organizations and cultural centers despite the challenges they encountered.
