As I don't really know how to do anything other than just edit pages with words this will be quite boring to look at... The more i learn, the more magical this will become...
My Interests include Gaming (Consoles and PC), Music, football (watching and playing), and Driving. I am an iBore by admission!
I am a Swansea City fan, have been a season ticket holder for over 5 years now, and have attended more away games than I care to count!
Some time soon I also hope to start taking photographs to place in articles, and will post links to them here once I have worked out how to do it and own a camera good enough to make quality images!
The Rock Springs massacre occurred in 1885 in the present-day United States city of Rock Springs, Wyoming. The riot, and resulting massacre of immigrant Chinese miners by white immigrant miners, was the result of racial prejudice toward the Chinese miners, who were perceived to be taking jobs from the white miners. The Union Pacific Coal Department found it economically beneficial to give preference in hiring to Chinese miners, who were willing to work for lower wages than their white counterparts, angering the white miners. When the rioting ended, at least 28 Chinese miners were dead and 15 were injured. Rioters burned 78 Chinese homes, resulting in approximately $150,000 in property damage (equal to $5.09 million in 2020 terms). The massacre in Rock Springs touched off a wave of anti-Chinese violence, especially in the Puget Sound area of Washington Territory.Artwork credit: Thure de Thulstrup; restored by Adam Cuerden
