Therefore its primary motivation for being passed was economic, not nativist views.
Nativists panicked because they feared Chinese immigrants would take all the railroad jobs because they were willing to work for lower wages. This was a major factor in the passage of the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882.
The passage of the stamp act led directly to the Boston Tea Party. This, in turn, led directly to the Revolutionary War.

Chinese immigrants faced discrimination in the United States due to factors such as cultural differences, economic competition, and racism. They were seen as a threat to American jobs and wages, which led to exclusionary laws like the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 that severely restricted Chinese immigration and naturalization. Racist attitudes and stereotypes also played a significant role in the discrimination against Chinese immigrants.
