There is a shocking number of Chinese who came to America during the period just prior to the Gold Rush and leading up to the American Civil War. It is surprising to hear about how many soldiers fought in this war only to be met with racial discrimination following the war. Something more surprising is that some of the Chinese who fought in the Civil War also struggled to gain naturalization and on top of that were prevented from participating in World War I as soldiers.
