6 magg 1882 anni - Chinese Exclusion Act

Descrizione:

The Chinese Exclusion Act was enacted by the United States Congress in 1882, marking the first significant law restricting immigration into the United States based on nationality. This act banned Chinese laborers from entering the country for ten years and prevented Chinese nationals already in the country from becoming U.S. citizens, reflecting the growing anti-Chinese sentiment in the West, particularly in California, where economic competition and racial animosity were prevalent.
