Please follow the instructions carefully, use only the documents provided by the professor. The attach doc below is an example of a 0 points essay, please don’t make the same mistake.

Comments by the professor :Unfortunately, I cannot give partial credit your submission for the following reasons: 1) instead of using assigned reading (textbook) and class lectures, you used other online material which is prohibited. 2) why are none of the documents assigned for this assignment used and cited as part of your analysis 3) to properly compare and contrast, you have to provide both similarities and differences between the groups. Your submission offered only the similarities in terms of how all three were viewed with hostility, competed for jobs, and organized. So what are differences and uniqueness that sets each group apart from each other

Instructions:

To complete midterm #1, you will write a standard long format essay (5-6 pages, minimum of 1000 words/no maximum, 12 point Times New Roman font, double space) to answer the following prompt:

  • Compare and contrast the Asian diaspora (Chinese, Japanese, Filipinos) to America starting from the mid-nineteenth century to the 1930s.

Your essay will need to use at least six out of the eight following documents:

Document #1:

“Sir:
A paper was presented to me yesterday for inspection, and I found it to be specially drawn up for subscription among my countrymen toward the Pedestal Fund of the [Statue of Liberty.] Seeing that the heading is an appeal to American citizens, to their love of country and liberty, I feel that my countrymen and myself are honored in being thus appealed to as citizens in the cause of liberty. But the word liberty makes me think of the fact that this country is the land of liberty for men of all nations except the Chinese. I consider it as an insult to us Chinese to call on us to contribute toward building in this land a pedestal for a statue of liberty. That statue represents liberty holding a torch which lights the passage of those of all nations who come into this country. But are the Chinese allowed to come? As for the Chinese who are here, are they allowed to enjoy liberty as men of all other nationalities enjoy it? Are they allowed to go about everywhere free from the insults, abuses, assaults, wrongs, and injuries from which men of other nationalities are free?

If there be a Chinaman who came to this country when a lad, who has passed through an American institution of learning of the highest grade, who has so fallen in love with American manners and ideas that he desires to make his home in this land, and who, seeing that his countrymen demand one of their own number to be their legal adviser, representative, advocate, and protector, desires to study law, can he be a lawyer? By the law of this nation, he, being a Chinaman, cannot become a citizen, and consequently cannot be a lawyer.

And this statue of liberty is a gift to a people from another people who do not love or value liberty for the Chinese. Are not the [Vietnamese], to whom liberty is as dear as to the French? What right have the French to deprive them of their liberty?

Whether this statute against the Chinese or the statue of liberty will be the more lasting monument to tell future ages of the liberty and greatness of this country, will be known only to future generations.

Liberty, we Chinese do love and adore thee; but let not those who deny thee to us, make of thee a graven image and invite us to bow down to it.

“You declare war with Spain for the sake of Humanity. You announced to the world that your program was to set Cuba free, in conformity with your constitutional principles….you promised us your aid and protection in our attempt to form a government on the principles and after the model of the government of the United States….Joy abounded in every heart, and all went well…until…the Government at Washington…commenced by ignoring all promises that had been made and ended by ignoring the Philippine people, their personality and rights, and treating them as a common enemy….In the face of the world you emblazon humanity and liberty upon your standard, while you cast your political constitution to the winds and attempt to trample down and exterminate a brave people whose only crime is that they are fighting for their liberty.”
