Today in class we continued with presentations
Josh Martin section 7:1.
Angel Island
- Chinese immigrants came to America, had to pass thorugh Angel Island
-They had to go through hard questioning- had to live in dirt places for detention
- got into America, had to find a place to work and live
-Native Americans called country melting pot- was a mixture of different cultures blended together
Chinese Exclusion Act
-Banned Chinese entry; except- the students, teachers, merchants, tourists, government officials
-In 1892 Congress extended the law for another ten years
Gentlemen's Agreement
-Fears of anti-Chinese agitation was extended to Japan and other Asian countries
-Under the Gentlemen's Agreement, Japan's government limited the emigration of unskilled workers
Then I presented, I think I did a pretty good job. I was kind of nervous so I think that was the downfall of my presentation- I tried to expand off my bullets and have a lot of pictures so over all it was good.
Kara presented the last part of our section
-Since so many people had moved to the city is was very crowded and unsanitary
- bad plumbing, air was so bad you could barely breath- garbage and sewage piled up
