This activity focuses on the experience of Chinese immigrants in America during the mid-1800s, particularly those who migrated for the Gold Rush. Students will explore three reasons for their immigration, including economic hardships in China, and their dreams of finding prosperity in “Gold Mountain.” They will discuss the types of challenges Chinese immigrants faced, such as discrimination and labor exploitation, and learn about their contributions, particularly in railroad construction, farming, and mining. Engage with primary sources for a deeper understanding of this narrative.
