1. When Halifax raised the value of a doubloon in 1820, the result was a crisis where small change vanished from the city. When British Columbia offered a higher value for the British sovereign (a coin) in 1858, there was no such crisis. Why not?

2. British Columbia, Vancouver Island and (eventually) Canada's federal government passed "head taxes" to discourage the immigration of Chinese workers to Canada. The number of times that British Columbia passed head taxes (even when they were technically illegal) suggests the taxes were politically popular. Despite this, there were protests against the head tax by people who hired Chinese servants. What made Chinese servants different than other Chinese workers, to the extent that some of their employers would protest the tax?

Try to provide as much as answers you can, thanks
