In this video Heimler takes you through Unit 6 Topic 9 of the AP U.S. History curriculum which is set in period 6 (1865-1898).
In the Gilded Age, nativists resisted the large influx of immigrants both from Europe and Asia. In general, nativists opposed immigrants because they competed for low wage jobs and, thanks to the ideas of Social Darwinism, they weren't up to genetic snuff.
On the west coast Chinese immigrants had been responsible for much of the construction of the transcontinental railroad, but when the Panic of 1873 hit, nativists blamed the immigrants for the depression of wages. That ultimately led to the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882.
If you have any questions, leave them below and Heimler shall answer forthwithly.
This video is aligned with the AP U.S. History Curriculum and Exam Description for Unit 6 Topic 9, and all the key concepts thereunto appertaining.
