Many people of different ethnicities immigrated to America. The Chinese immigrated to the United States for better lives. Before the 1900s, most of their work consisted of farming, mining and railroads. The Chinese men would send money back home for their families. The Americans hated the Chinese because the Chinese worked for low wages and took the jobs from Americans. The Americans accused the Chinese of monopolizing all the jobs. This caused the Americans to pass the Chinese Exclusion Act.
