  *Hawai‘i was not a U.S. territory until 1898.

  This list includes sites of anti- Chinese expulsions or attempted expulsions. As discussed in the main text, these expulsions included a host of tactics, including harassment, intimidation, bombing, arson, assault, roundup, murder, and lynching. I have not notated the par tic u lar form of expulsion here, because tactics were often used in combination and the nature of the sources make simple categorization problematic. Because many of these locations experienced more than one incident between 1885 and 1887, I have not included specific dates. This list is not exhaustive; it represents an undercount of the number of Chinese deaths and sites of expulsions.
