The French send Giovanni da Verrazano to the Americas because they were searching for a waterway through or around North America, or a northwest passage to Asia.

Italian explorer Giovanni da Verrazano (1485-1528) was sent by King Francis 1 in the 1520s to explore North America, specifically the East Coast to find a route to the Pacific. When he arrived at Cape Fear, North Carolina, he continued to the North and discovered New York harbor. He was the one who charted the Atlantic Coast of North America.

in the 1800s, chinese workers migrated to the united states, first to work in the gold mines, but also to take agricultural jobs, and factory work, especially in the garment industry. chinese immigrants were particularly instrumental in building railroads in the american west, and as chinese laborers grew successful in the united states, a number of them became entrepreneurs in their own right. as the numbers of chinese laborers increased, so did the strength of anti-chinese sentiment among other workers in the american economy. this finally resulted in legislation that aimed to limit future immigration of chinese workers to the united states, and threatened to sour diplomatic relations between the united states and china.
