Short Answer

1. Brie y explain ONE signi cant cause of increased migration to the United States from 1860-1924.

In 1859, gold was discovered in western American, similar to the gold found in 1849. The new opportunity to strike it rich in gold mining
prompted many Chinese men to immigrate to the United States. Once again, they could work mining for gold, or set up shop to sell to miners.

2. Brie y explain ONE signi cant effect of increased migration to the United States from 1860-1924.

Increased immigration of the Chinese, Irish, and Italians led to much more discrimination in America. Many schools refused to educate the
Chinese, and some pushed theories that Italians were worse than those born in America, solely because of their race. The Chinese Exclusion
Act forbade any more Chinese to enter into America.

3. Brie y explain ONE signi cant nativist reaction to the increased migration to the United States from 1860-1924.

The Chinese Exclusion Act was put in place to stop the in ux of Chinese immigrants. Nativists were suspicious of their different language,
different appearance, and success in certain industries. Nativists sought to fully exclude the Chinese from America.
