: HELLO.I AM DOING AN ASSIGNMENT FOR SCHOOL ON GOLD
: AND I NEED TO KNOW WHAT TYPE OF QUESTIONS THE CHINESE
: FACED ON THE GOLDFIELDS.IT IS ONE OF THE HARDEST QUESTIONS
: ON THE QUESTION SHEET.
: THANKYOU
I don't think too many of them ended up in the goldfields
Some of the problems they confronted were language barrier,
culture shock, and emotional distress (they were tricked
to come to the USA for gold, but ended up building the
railroads).
