nThe ordinance passed by the
City of San Francisco required the Chinese to move to an area that had been designated
for slaughterhouses, tallow-rendering plants and other businesses considered
to be offensive.
nBefore the ordinance was
passed, the Chinese in San Francisco were effectively
segregated in Chinatown.
nWhy would the city pass such an ordinance?
nWhat other choice did the Chinese have in addition to moving to the
designated area?
