1)How much time was the trip from Europe and Asia, and how would you have liked it?
- The trip crossed the Atlantic Ocean from Europe which took approximately one week; however, the Pacific crossing from Asia took about three weeks. I believe I wouldn't have enjoyed it because it seemed crowded, with people dieing attracting deases.
2)What are the names of the main immigration processing stations in San Fransisco and New York? Describe the immigrant's experience at each.
- There were two processing stations which were Castle Garden in New York. Immigrants were held there for about a day or even longer. Processing immigrants took about five hours. They had to pass a physical examination by a doctor, if you had a disease you were sent home, if they passed they would then report to a government inspector. The government inspector would then check documents and ask further questions. One of the requirements included proving that they never been convicted as a felony.
-Another processing station was Angel Island. Chinese immigrants entered the United States through this station were hardly questioned.
3)How did Denis Kearney try to stop Asian people from entering California in 1882? Why did he do this, and how would you feel if you were Chinese?
-Denis Kearney tried to stop Asian people from entering California in 1882 by the Chinese Exclusion Act. This act banned all Chinese from entering with the exceptioonn of students, teachers, merchants, tourist, and government officials. If I were Chinese during that era I would feel mistreated because I wasn't receiving the same respect white people got.
4)In 1907-08 the Gentleman's Agreement did two things. What were they?
-Compromising to limit immigration of unskilled workers to the United States in exchange for the repeal of the San Fransisco segregation order was one of the Gentleman's agreements.
-The Agreement did two things, for instance it limited emigration of unskilled workers to the United States.Second, the exchange for the repeal of the San Fransisco segregation order.
