Compare and contrast the three political cartoons from 1870, 1871, and 1882 in this week's modul (keep in mind the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 discussed in this week's chapter). How is the U. S.
and its politicians depicted? How are Chinese immigrants depicted? What does each cartoon say
about the issue of Chinese immigration? What is each cartoon trying to make the reader feel and
how does the artist work to create that feeling?

The three political cartoons from 1870, 1871, and 1882 depicted the unwelcome of Chinese immigration in America.

Explanation:

In 1870 political cartoon Throwing Down The Ladder By Which They Rose, describes the US as the wall. It shows the welcome of European immigrant in the United States, and it's pushed away when Chinese immigrants are waiting for their turn to climb the wall. The flag on the right shows Chinese immigrants are not welcome.

An 1871 political cartoon, The Chinese Question, depicts Columbia protecting Chinese immigrants from terrible prejudice and discrimination. The armed mob supported the directions of statesmen like William Magear Tweet with threats.

In 1882 cartoon by Bernhard Gillam shows politicians leaders of Washington dealing with the issue of Chinese immigration by beating a Chinese immigrant.

Political drawings helped in strengthening the inferiority of Chinese immigrants in America. Political cartoons used to identify Chinese immigrants as inferior because of their culture, religion, dress, ornaments, and hair length.

In 1882, Congress passed the Chinese Exclusion Act, which banned all Chinese immigration for ten years and prohibited Chinese resident in America from being citizens.  

Each of the cartoon trying to narrate the reality about the issue of immigration when it came for Chinese people to enter America.

i confess that there are several parts of this constitution which i do not at present approve, but i am not sure i shall never approve them: for having lived long, i have experienced many instances of being obliged by better information or fuller consideration, to change opinions even on important subjects, which i once thought right, but found to be otherwise. it is therefore that the older i grow, the more apt i am to doubt my own judgment, and to pay more respect to the judgment of others.
