Title
CHINA’S EARNEST PROTEST, She Tells Uncle Sam that He Is Violating the Treaty He Made With Her
Description
An article about the 1888 extension to the Chinese Exclusion Act and how the extension is unfair to the Chinese. The author takes a pro-immigration stance by noting that the U.S. has violated the contract it made with China and that Chinese immigrants who live in or move to the United States are treated heinously. The author states that the Chinese have “protected American missionaries and helped the American merchant”. This article demonstrates what a journalist thought of the Chinese Exclusion Act and shows how the New York World used its text to speak for immigrants.
