Immigration and Migration in the Progressive Era

Question 9 • WA-Washington State History (HS)

The 1907 "Gentleman’s Agreement” was replaced by

Answer
A
the stricter Immigration Act of 1924 that banned immigrants from Asia.
B
the Chinese Exclusion Act that prohibited most immigration from China.
C
more lenient immigration laws between the United States and East Asia.
D
a contract with Japan to stop allowing immigration to the United States.

Explanation

The 1907 Gentlemen’s Agreement limited Japanese immigration through an informal understanding between the United States and Japan. It was superseded by the Immigration Act of 1924, which barred immigration from Japan and other Asian countries. Thus, the stricter 1924 act is the correct choice; the Chinese Exclusion Act had been enacted earlier, in 1882.
