Did Canada ever stop to think about what it was doing for its reputation? The discrimination that Chinese immigrants faced while they were here in the 19th century was unbelievable‚ and that even to this day it has almost been forgotten is quite sad for the history of Canada

Most people didn’t have a problem with it and agreed with it‚ but there was also groups called abolitionists‚ that greatly disliked slavery and devoted their lives to try to put an end to it.
