Instructions
* Fill in the missing words into the blank fields
Historically,  reasons  for  the  migration  of  Asians  to  the  United  States  were  similar  in  some  ways  to  those  for  the  Atlantic    of  Europeans    to  escape  from  poverty  and  civil  war  and  to  find  employment  opportunity  and  freedom.  Chinese  laborers  were    to  build  the  transcontinental  railroad  in  the  mid-19th  century  and  provide  domestic  services  in  cities  such  as  San  Francisco.  They  were  followed  by  the  Japanese  and  Filipinos  in  the  early  20th  century  who  labored  in  Hawaiian  ,  California  farms,  and  Alaskan  canneries.  Of  these  early  Asian  Americans,  only  the  Japanese  were    to  immigrate  as  families  at  the  insistence  of  the  Japanese  government.  For  these  early  generations,  Asians  in  America  were  largely    communities  of    sojourners,  with  male  to  female  ratios  as  high  as  10  to  1.  Asian-American  children  in  those  early  years  were  rare.
