jan 16, 1907 - Gentleman's Agreement

Description:

The Gentleman's Act was created to calm tensions between Japan and America with the influx of Japanese immigrants into the United States. Japan would deny passports to those wanting to immigrate into America as the United States would allow free immigration to those coming not only for labor.
