Go to any of the sites listed below (or use the sites you have already read) and pick a woman who was alive sometime between 1870 and 1930.  It can be one of the women you’ve already learned about in this unit, or someone else.

You will make a Flowgram answering these questions about the woman:

1) Who was she and what did she do?The person that I chosing was Susan Anthony. She was a teacher who taught English to children and she was also fought for women's right. She was a guaker and was against people drinking alcohol.

2) Why did you pick her? I pick this women because she was never get up until she died and I want to be like Susan Anthony.

In the same Flowgram, please pick a woman who you know personally (your grandmother, mother, a teacher, etc.) who reminds you of the famous woman you picked to write about.  Explain why she reminds you of that famous person.

My mother reminds me this famous person when I first came to this country. My mother was similar to women because she never get up and did all the hard works without no body helping her. This two womens would important to abd I never forget them. I believe that this women could make me do like she do.

Building the railroad was very difficult work.  At first railroad companies, like the Central Pacific, only hired white men to do this job, but these men proved to be unreliable.  A lot of white workers only worked long enough to save money to go to California or Nevada and then they would quit.  They were also more likely to strike and ask for higher pay.  The Central Pacific decided to hire Chinese workers because the Chinese worked very hard and did not cause problems.  Working conditions were very hard and pay was so low that some Chinese workers finally got tired and decided to strike.  In June of 1867 the Chinese working on the Sierra Nevadas walked off the job and refused to go back unless they got paid more, had safer working conditions, and shorter working shifts.  Charles Crocker told them he would not give in to their demands.  The Chinese workers decided to continue the strike until their demands were met.  In the end, however, the Chinese went back to work because they needed the money and had no other options.

If you were a Chinese worker on the railroad, would you have continued the strike, gone back to work, or done something else?  Why? If I was a Chinese worker on the railroad, I will continue the strike because to keep the way that Chinese get a job and have money to marry.

Chinese records claim that a Chinese monk named Huishen traveled 7,000 miles east of China.  The monk then landed in a country he called Fusang.   Some people say Fusang was California.

What was the name of the Chinese monk?

The name of the Chinese monk was Huishen.

What do you think the Native Americans would have thought of the monk?

I think that the Native Americans have thought of the monk that they never have see before.

In the 1850’s the United States only allowed whites to become citizens. Chinese immigrants were not allowed to vote.  They also could not own land.  Chinese could also not testify against whites in court.

What were Chinese not allowed to own? Chinese not allowed to own land and also not allowed to vote.

Imagine you were a Chinese immigrant who had been shot by a white person.  How would you have felt if you could not testify against that person in court? I will felt angry and next time I see him I will kill him.

As soon as news of the discovery of gold in California reached China in 1849, there was an increase in the numbers of Chinese immigrants to the west coast of the United States. They came because wars, floods and famine had made earning a livelihood difficult in China.

Why did Chinese immigrants come to California?

Chinese immigrants come to California because of wars; flood and famine had made earning a livelihood difficult in Chinese

How do you think the Chinese heard about the discovery of gold? I think that Chinese heard from the west coast of the United State.

Chinese workers on the railroad were fed a Chinese diet including dried oysters, dried fish, sweet rice, crackers, dried bamboo, salted cabbage, Chinese sugar, dried fruits and vegetables, dried seaweed, Chinese bacon, dried mushrooms, peanut oil, tea, rice, pork, and chicken.  This was a much healthier diet than the beef, beans, bread, butter and potatoes of white workers at the time.  The Chinese also drank barrels of hot tea.   White workers, instead, would drink cold water.  Too often this water was contaminated and caused illness among the workers.

Literal Question: What was happened after the white workers drink cold water dead?

Figurative Question: Why did they were paid $1each day?

Chinese workers on the railroad worked six days a week from sunrise to sundown.  They were paid $1 each day.  Three thousand Chinese were hired to work on the railroad.

In 1867 two thousand Chinese workers went on strike.  They demanded a raise to $40 each month.  The strike ended in one week, and the Chinese workers were forced to go back to work without a raise in their pay.

Literal Question: How long did Chinese workers came to the United State?

Figurative Question: What we can do to solve the problem in the artile?

The typical Chinese gold seeker was in his late teens or early twenties, male, single, and had not been to school. His goal was to return to China as soon as he had earned a lot of money. He did not intend to stay in California and he continued his traditions, clothing, language, food and clothing.  He stayed in places where there were other Chinese. The largest and most important of these communities was San Francisco's Chinatown.
