2. Bell Work: What do you think this inscription on the Statue of Liberty means? What do you think is the Golden Door?
Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame, With conquering limbs astride from land to land; Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame. "Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

Most emigrants wanted to maintain their cultural identity.
This caused conflict and led to Nativism
Nativism gave preferential treatment to native-born Americans over emigrants
Nativists wanted to limit immigration.

Many Chinese came to America through Angel Island in San Francisco on the West Coast.
Between 1851 & 1883 about 300,000 Chinese emigrated to the US.
In 1882 the US closed the “door” for Chinese emigrants with the Chinese Exclusion Act.
