Teachers looking for events that show continuity and change in the history of immigration in the United States can use event to show students the nature of anti-immigrant sentiment through the lens of a real event with real people - rather than the antiseptic factoid of federal legislation like the Chinese Exclusion act.

"Our Misery and Despair": Kearney Blasts Chinese Immigration
"Our Misery and Despair": Kearney Blasts Chinese Immigration
To add to our misery and despair, a bloated aristocracy has sent to China—the greatest and oldest despotism in the world—for a cheap working slave. It rakes the slums of Asia to find the meanest slave on earth—the Chinese coolie—and imports him here to meet the free American in the Labor market, and still further widen the breach between the rich and the poor, still further to degrade white Labor.
California must be all American or all Chinese. We are resolved that it shall be American, and are prepared to make it so. May we not rely upon your sympathy and assistance?
