Answer:

The three political cartoons from 1870, 1871, and 1882 depicted the unwelcome of Chinese immigration in America.

Explanation:

In 1870 political cartoon Throwing Down The Ladder By Which They Rose, describes the US as the wall. It shows the welcome of European immigrant in the United States, and it's pushed away when Chinese immigrants are waiting for their turn to climb the wall. The flag on the right shows Chinese immigrants are not welcome.

An 1871 political cartoon, The Chinese Question, depicts Columbia protecting Chinese immigrants from terrible prejudice and discrimination. The armed mob supported the directions of statesmen like William Magear Tweet with threats.

In 1882 cartoon by Bernhard Gillam shows politicians leaders of Washington dealing with the issue of Chinese immigration by beating a Chinese immigrant.

Political drawings helped in strengthening the inferiority of Chinese immigrants in America. Political cartoons used to identify Chinese immigrants as inferior because of their culture, religion, dress, ornaments, and hair length.

In 1882, Congress passed the Chinese Exclusion Act, which banned all Chinese immigration for ten years and prohibited Chinese resident in America from being citizens.  

Each of the cartoon trying to narrate the reality about the issue of immigration when it came for Chinese people to enter America.
