What happened between the 1860s when Chinese were welcomed and 1882 when they were excluded?

Between the 1860s and 1882, the Chinese population in the United States initially grew due to the demand for labor, particularly during the California Gold Rush and the construction of the Transcontinental Railroad. However, as economic conditions fluctuated and anti-immigrant sentiments rose, particularly during economic downturns, fear and resentment towards Chinese laborers grew among white workers. This culminated in the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882, which marked the first significant law to restrict immigration based on nationality, effectively barring Chinese laborers from entering the U.S. and reflecting broader trends of racism and xenophobia.
