Anti-Chinese sentiment greatly increased in the 1880s. Explain the reasons for this growing resentment and
describe two specific instances where negative feelings toward Chinese turned into action.

Anti- Chinese sentiment increased greatly in the United States of America in the 1880s as a result of the following reasons below:
