This original newspaper contains prominent front page "stacked" headlines and news of the RACIAL ATTACK on CHINESE MRN in SAN FRANCISCO by WHITE SUPREMACISTS. Anti-Chinese violence in California includes a number of massacres, riots, expulsions and other violent actions that were directed at Chinese-American communities during the mid and late 19th century. The attacks on Chinese were often sparked by labor disputes. In the 1880s alone, Chinese communities were attacked in 34 towns in California, often resulting in the local Chinatown being looted and burned by a white thugs. Anti-Chinese violence became more prevalent and severe in California in the 1870s, partly as a result of the Long Depression, which many American workers blamed on industrialists using cheaper Chinese labor. On October 24, 1871, the most deadly act violence against the Chinese in California occurred. Around 500 white and Hispanic men attacked Los Angeles' Chinatown after a white man was shot to death by a Chinese man. The mob looted Chinatown and lynched nineteen Chinese men. Eight men were convicted of manslaughter but later had their convictions overturned. San Francisco, which had the largest Chinese population in the country, was also hit by a major anti-Chinese riot in 1877. On July 23, 1877, unemployed white workers gathered for a socialist meeting and began attacking Chinese immigrants, killing four, as they blamed them for their economic woes. Anti-Chinese violence spread to smaller cities such as Chico, Weaverville and Yreka. White gunmen shot and killed four Chinese men in Chico in February 1877 and later unsuccessfully attempted to burn the town's Chinatown to the ground. In September 1876, the entire Chinese population of Placer County was expelled after a Chinese cook named Ah Sam murdered three white people near Loomis. In response to rising anti-Chinese sentiment in California and other Western states, the U.S. enacted the Chinese Exclusion Act in 1882 to ban Chinese immigration to the U.S. for 10 years and later enacted the Scott Act in 1888 to prohibit Chinese laborers from re-entering America. The passage of both laws lead to mass celebratory demonstrations in California. Very good condition. This listing includes the complete entire original newspaper, NOT just a clipping or a page of it.
