One of the main jobs of historians is to interpret the past by reviewing primary
documents, scholarly secondary sources, and then creating an analysis of this
research. After reading your text and reviewing the assigned materials, submit an
analysis of Chinese immigration and anti-Chinese legislation.
You might want to consider the following questions, but you are not limited to them: In
what ways were Chinese immigrants different from other immigrant groups? What does
the passage of local and federal laws tell us about the attitudes towards Chinese
immigrants specifically? What is the significance of the United States vs Wong Kim Ark?
