Answer 1

During the Seattle riot of 1886, angry mobs drove Chinese immigrants out of their homes. The violence was part of a larger pattern of anti-Chinese sentiment in the United States during that era, fueled by economic competition and widespread racism. Mobs attacked Chinese neighborhoods, resulting in many immigrants being forcibly removed from their homes and businesses, and some were even physically assaulted. This riot highlighted the severe discrimination and hostility faced by Chinese immigrants in the late 19th century.
