Significance of this Topic (why are we still talking about it today?) Why was this topic/event/person important to this time period? During this time many (how many?) immigrants came to America, however Chinese immigrants were not allowed with no specific reason or grievance. Many Americans at that time complained that the Chinese were taking their jobs, however the Chinese were a small fraction of the population,.002%. Why is this topic/event/person important today? This issue could be related to discrimination and prejudices that some people still might have today. Looking back at history it is weird to think that Americans could talk about the U.S. being the land of opportunity and freedom when we did not allow a certain race/ethnicity into the country for no particular reason. One of the most significant restrictions on free immigration in U.S. history, prohibiting all immigration of Chinese laborers.
