This article talks about the huge inflow of immigrants coming through Ellis island. This really supports our view of hope to the new land that they have come to. It talks about the beautiflul metropolis of New York. With its towering skyscrapers, flowers, and boats in the harbor. It also highlights the recognition from Americans that these people were oppressed and they just wanted a better oppurtunity. The article also gives us a view on the actual island of Ellis Island.
This article really highlights the large number if immigrants flowing into the country and flaunts the idea of millions of them coming a year. Being that it is 1904 that is an extremely high amount of people to be coming to one city. the commissioner says that they were even waiting for millions of more to come. Millions of immigrants for the work force, to be housed in cities, and to struggle for food and work.
In 1912 over 52,000 immigrants had come in to Ellis island in just the first 3 months of the year. Highlighting the high numbers of workers that affected our market and work forces during that time period
This picture was meant to show about immigration and how they got in Ellis Island and how it was a main thing for forgetting. These show how immigration was at the time and how it was hard to get through the country. These fit into the situation of immigration during the time period. This suprises me because it is crazy to see how tough it is to get into the us as an immigrant.
This picture was taken to show the transition that the immigrants would take from Ellis island to society. We learn that they leave and could do an unlimited number of things once they left. they show the value that these immigrants could have on our society, it also shows the harm they could do to our society.
This photo was taken to show the multitude of people coming in. It give the public and idea of our immigration situation. it fits into the nativism part of our curriculum and wants the public to be outraged by it. I'm surprised at the fact that some people were standing and waiting for such a long time.
This photograph was taken to show the presence of jews coming into our country.This photograph really highlights the diversity of the people that came through Ellis Island. Jews, Italians, Spanish, English, Irish, Scottish, and some other Southern Europe people came through ellis island to make a change in their life and it shows that anyone could try to find a better life in America. They would fit into the immigration part of our curriculum and probably face hardships from the natives. Im surprised they were smiling on account of the long journey they had just taken and what they actually came to once it was complete.

This picture represents the boats many people took to get to America. They were very poor conditions with many people on them at the same time. This wsa the risk that many people were willing to take at this time to accomplish their dream at coming to the Americas.
this really expresses the risk that people will take to come to America and it shows how desirable our country is, and how almost miserable there other countries are.
