/kloc-in which year did China immigrate to the United States more than 0/00 years ago?

The United States, known as the "ethnic melting pot", is a typical immigrant country, and its immigration history can be traced back to 1620 at the earliest. In the past 400 years, the United States has become a mixture of more than 65,438,000 ethnic groups. Even the Statue of Liberty standing in new york 1886 "immigrated" from France to the United States. Immigrants came across the ocean with their dreams to this ideal land. There have been several major immigration waves in American history. It is no exaggeration to say that immigrants created America, and immigrants developed and changed America.

Attracting immigrants was once the most important diplomatic task of the United States.

At the beginning of the founding of the United States, the total domestic population was only 3.9 million. Except for about 760 thousand blacks, the rest are almost all white, and most of them are from western Europe. Concerned about the Napoleonic Wars in Europe and the domestic employment environment, several governments in the early days of the founding of the United States were full of doubts about immigration policies, and they had formulated some policies to restrict immigration. During the period of 1796- 18 15, the average number of European immigrants to the United States was only about 3,000 per year.

After the Napoleonic Wars, Europe regained peace. With the demobilization of a large number of soldiers, the unemployment problem in European countries is becoming more and more serious, and the number of immigrants to the United States is increasing year by year. At this time, the United States also changed its policy of restricting immigration because of the needs of domestic construction. 1848 after the European revolution, the wave of immigration to the United States is getting higher and higher. From 1820 to 100, the United States accepted about 33.5 million immigrants, which formed a century-long immigration tide in the United States.

What American historians call the "Great Migration Movement" is the first migration climax from 1820 to 1860, during which the total number of immigrants reached 5 million. Immigrants mainly come from western Europe and northern Europe, including about 2 million Irish, 6,543,800 Germans and a large number of African slaves sold to the United States. At the same time, some immigrants came from Asia, mainly from China, and they came to the United States to look for gold.

The second immigration climax was from 186 1 to 1880, and about 5 million immigrants came to the United States. After the end of the Civil War, the United States ushered in the peak of industrialization, and the demand for labor was strong. In order to attract European immigrants to the United States, 1864, President Lincoln lobbied Congress to pass the immigration encouragement bill. Secretary Seward even issued a circular to American diplomats in Europe, asking them to make attracting European immigrants one of the most important diplomatic tasks. In order to recruit skilled workers from Europe to work in the United States, some enterprises also send delegations to Europe for recruitment. They advertised in many European newspapers and published pamphlets to describe the attractive prospects of the United States to Europeans with immigration aspirations. Some enterprises also provide necessary travel expenses for Europeans who are willing to immigrate to the United States.

The third climax was from 188 1 to 1920, and the number of immigrants soared to 23.5 million. The migration peak is 1907, reaching 1285000. At this stage, the American government has repeatedly legislated to restrict European immigrants and exclude Asian immigrants. The growth of "old immigrants" from northwest European countries such as Britain, Germany and Sweden is limited, while the growth of "new immigrants" from southeast European countries such as Italy and Russia is rapid.

After these three immigration climaxes, 1920, the total population of the United States exceeded 1 100 million for the first time. From 1820 to 1920, the number of immigrants accounted for more than 20% of the annual population growth in the United States.

Immigration changed the fate of America.

These three waves of immigrants in American history not only had a far-reaching impact on the formation of American national character, but also made the United States rise rapidly in just over a hundred years, replacing Britain as the world's number one economic power and laying the foundation for becoming a world superpower in the future. It can be said that the immigration tide has made America strong.

In the tide of immigration, the United States enjoyed success and got thousands of unskilled workers from Europe. According to statistics, during the period of 187 1- 1892, about 23% of the immigrants from western Europe and northern Europe were skilled workers, who brought steel, textiles and other industrial technologies and became an important technical force in the American industrial revolution.

Samuel, who was praised as "the father of American manufacturing" by the seventh president of the United States, Jackson? After Slater immigrated to the United States, he successfully copied an efficient cotton spinning machine in the United States with the secret of British textile industry he stole, and established a cotton spinning mill, which sounded the horn of American industrial revolution. Alexander, inventor of the telephone? Bell and Samuel, the father of telegraph? Morse and others are also immigrants or descendants of immigrants. In addition, immigrants from China, Japan and the Philippines in Asia brought agricultural and horticultural technologies, while Italian immigrants made great contributions to municipal construction technologies such as gas, electricity and tap water.

Among these immigrants, 85% are between the ages of 14 and 44, and most of them are men. These immigrants are in their prime, providing labor for the cotton textile industry, mining industry and construction industry in the United States. Irish, Germans, Italians and Nordic people are the main forces of tunnel and railway engineering in the eastern United States. In the "westward movement" that changed the early political structure and social outlook of the United States, the role of Chinese workers cannot be underestimated.
