What long term movement does esherick see the boxers as part of

The Boxers or the Boxer rebellion was an aggressive anti-foreign, anti-colonial, and anti-Christian rebellion that happened in China between 1899 and 1901, near the end of the Qing dynasty. The Boxers were a portion of the appearance of mass nationalism in China. Their long term goal was to encourage people to see themselves as a united country.

Additionally, Esherick does not think that the Boxers rebelled against the government. Instead, he says they aimed their anger at foreign influences.

here are some major conflicts i found. maybe pick one and do more research on it. (cause i ain't writing 6 paragraphs)

in 1877, the nez perce war took place.

1881 - president james garfield was assassinated.

1882 - the chinese exclusion act was passed.

1883 - a decision in the civil rights cases legalized racial segregation in the united states.

1887 - the dawes act was passed.

1893 - the panic of 1893 took place. (what a creative name)

and there are probably other topics you can find if you just search up "united states timeline," or "conflicts in the 19th century for america."

then once you find a topic you like find out how it affected the people of america and what not. (sorry if this feels a bit short changed, history was and never will be one of my strong topics)
