Answer 1

B I hope i got it right :3

Answer 2

According to the text, we can affirm that Sinn argued that Chinese immigrants did not need to pay the miner's tax, because most of the Chinese immigrant population was engaged in other types of jobs. Pfaelzer disagrees, saying that immigrants from Latin America and the Chinese had to pay the miner's tax, as a large part of the population worked in this sector.

Based on this, we can answer the rest of the questions as follows:

• Between 1850-1860, the western US received a large number of Chinese immigrants.
• This region also received a considerable amount of immigrants from other regions of Asia, but the Chinese formed a more prominent group.
• During that same time, the other US regions received a large number of European immigrants. Although these regions also had large numbers of Latin Americans.
• Immigration to the Pacific coast caused an increase in the population of that region. This created the need to organize the place and create states that could involve all these people.

With this, we can see how the USA was a country composed of immigrants, throughout its creation.
