This sad “black history” of Chinese, which Americans tried to cover up, was uncovered today!

When it comes to the rise of the United States, many people know that since the end of the 18th century and the beginning of the 19th century, the United States has embarked on the road of industrialization, and gradually entered a mature stage after the end of the Civil War. In less than 50 years from the Civil War to the First World War, the United States was upgraded from a rural republic to an urbanized country with an industrial system.

In American history books, of course, there are “sages” who represent American political elites and “free and brave pioneers” who are mainly white people. However, the workers who lost their freedom and got low pay (some even didn’t get paid at all) made great contributions to the United States in digging gold mines and repairing railways.

Even at that time, those workers tried to change their destiny by virtue of their duty, hard work and hardship several times, but they were again and again crushed by the “black hand”.

Wang Yuanchong, a historian in the United States, said in the article “past lives of the Chinese Exclusion Act in 1882” that by the end of 1850, the number of Chinese workers who arrived in San Francisco, California had soared to 4,000, and by 1851, there were 25,000. At that time, San Francisco was called “Golden Mountain” in the circle of South China University of Technology. After the discovery of gold mine in Melbourne, Australia in 1855, San Francisco was renamed “San Francisco” in the circle of South China University of Technology. Later, the name continued to this day.

In a short period of 100 years, the population of China has increased by 300 million, while the domestic economic structure and social resource distribution mode have not changed fundamentally during the same period. Therefore, after the First Opium War in 1840, the United States found that there were a large number of young and unemployed laborers in China, which became a “gold mine” in the eyes of Americans.

What many people can’t imagine today is that the American political circles initially encouraged the Chinese to come one after another, and even the American political elite acquiesced in recruiting companies to cheat more Chinese workers in China with all kinds of words that “gold is everywhere and life is more comfortable than farming”, because the expanding United States needed a lot of cheap labor.
