Although Chinese immigrants have been an important group that helped the U.S economy become stronger; many were denied entrance into the U.S because of the Exclusion Act of 1882. In 1848, the word of
I am going to be writing a persuasive essay on the differences between the immigrations of the Loyalists and the Chinese. In my opinion, the Loyalists had a worse migration experience compared to the Chinese. In the following paragraphs I’m going to be explaining to you why the loyalists had a worse experience then the Chinese. The reason why the loyalists moved to Canada are because they didn’t like their government and also because of the American Revolution, they did not want to participate in the war therefore they moved to Canada where peace was found and there was no war. One of my first reasons why the loyalists had it worse than the Chinese was in 1783 when most were exiled from their own land.
Firstly the tsar did not help the peasants personally, but instead leave the burden to the prime ministers when they cannot rule like a democracy today. Also it leads to the growing economic problem which is a major factor in why the Romanov’s failed. The war came, the economy was shattered, and it could not last for 4 years of heavy warfare. A war in which it would not be over by Christmas as many wanted.

The effects of past colonialism are reflected in the poor housing conditions of many Aboriginal persons living on reserves today. “Internal colonialism is used to refer to a situation in which members of a racial or ethnic group are conquered or colonized and forcibly placed under the economic and political control of the dominant group” (Murry, 2014, p.286). The Europeans that invaded and conquered their land colonized Canada’s Aboriginal people. With this, they lost “property, political rights, aspects of their culture, and often their lives. The capitalist class acquired cheap labour and land through this government-sanctioned racial exploitation.
Canada is a land where multicultural societies live side by side in harmony with minor irritations here and there. Nearing a century and a half of struggles for rights and freedoms after becoming a dominion, one can see Canada has risen to become a truly strong and free country. Without outwardly showing it except at sporting events and the 1st of July parade, Canadians are generally patriotic people who are proud to call Canada
Aboriginal Canadians have, over the years, become victim to a tremendous amount of discrimination by the Canadian government. The Indian Act of 1867, which signifies one of the earliest forms of discrimination, took away a significant amount of power from the hands of Aboriginals. Aboriginals living within Canada have also suffered as a result of poor living conditions and extreme poverty. Although poverty is a national issue, it is especially prevent among the Aboriginal community. The White Paper of 1969, which attempted to assimilate Aboriginals into Canadian culture, is considered to be one of the most severe forms of discrimination directed towards this group.
