7. During part of the 1800's, Idaho was home to more Chinese than any other ethnic group.

	a. True
	b. False

Correct!
The 1870 census shows 28.5 percent of Idaho's population was Chinese, and they were probably under counted.  Many worked for white mine owners, often digging ditches to bring water to mines. Others owned businesses patronized by other Chinese and also by all residents.
