The treaty:
Importantly, Chinese immigration to the United States was encouraged. Oppostion in Congress to Chinese immigration led President Rutherford B. Hayes to authorize James Burrill Angell to renegotiate the treaty in 1880. The treaty was amended to suspend, but not prohibit, Chinese immigration, while comfirming the obligation of the United States to protect the rights of those immigrants already arrived. The treaty was reversed in 1882 by the Chinese Exclusion Act. See also:
