Life Out West

The Daily Los Angeles Herald of Los Angeles, California on April 15, 1879

The journalist wrote against the new California Constitution which was the Chinese Exclusion Act.

The Chinese Exclusion Act was a way to get rid of the Chinese Immigrants. The white citizens were unhappy with the Chinese Immigrants because they were willing to work more for a smaller price. 


The new Governor, Kearney, sides with the white citizens that the Chines Immigrants must be sent back to China. He wins because of this.
