Post-war was no different, with the yankees doing the same to attract "Coolies" to work on the railroad, instead of hiring millions of free blacks. I wonder why?

So they could gun the coolies down the night before payday, and the Chinese didn't have a big old navy they could send over to protect their nationals from these guys?

Correctamundo. Besides, the coolies worked for slave wages, while free blacks would have required much higher wages.

How come we have any Chinese left in the nation, if they were being killed every payday!

You would think word would get back to China not to come to America and get killed, but they kept on coming!
