Dear Auntie,

How are you? How is your family style going? The year is 1932, and I've been listening to the election between Roosevelt and Hoover. My side of the story isn't so bright as you would've or expected it to be. Over the past few days I was doing fine until I was plummeted into poverty by the stock market crash. I might loos my job Auntie. I'm gonna cry. I don't like this. And now I have to live in a one bedroom apartment with seven of our family members. It's so crammed in that apartment. Herbert Hoover and Franklin Roosevelt were two men with completely opposite ideas on how to get the country out of the Great Depression. Not only were their policies different from one another, and the way they were raised, they were also from different political parties.
I don't know who's gonna win this election. It'd the Great Depression here, there, maybe even where you live. I don't like it here. It get more sad and people just want to have a good life after and during this election because they want a really good president. Maybe I can vote this time? The seven families are doing fine by the way cause I just knew you wanted to know. I might have to move back to Europe. Everyone here is so mean, depressed, worried about how there life is going to end up as. I don't blame them. I love you Auntie and I want to see you again but, I don't know if that's gonna happen in the great depression and me being an immigrant..

Sincerely your niece,
Leah
P.S. everyone loves and really misses you. We will figure this out together as a family. I really love you.

Treated as a slave is cruel and harsh

Answer from: Quest

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.
