What happens to you while you are there at Ellis Island?
Immigrants had to pass the medical examination to pass through Ellis Island. Doctors checked immigrants' hair, faces, necks, and hands for diseases. Eyes were also checked for a blindness disease called trachoma. If immigrants got a letter marked on their clothing, that meant that they needed to have a second, more thorough checkup. If immigrants had diseases or were too sick to work, they were forced to leave the United States. The immigrants who managed to pass thus far were then asked a series of question for interrogation. The inspectors had approximately two minutes with every immigrant to double check information. If the immigrants hesitated, they had to stay at Ellis Island for more questioning. Once the immigrants passed the medical examinations and interrogations and left Ellis Island, they began their new lives as Americans. However, they often met challenges as poor immigrants from other countries. The living conditions for them were mostly very poor. Families lived in tenements, which were small homes and apartments, sometimes even cramming one entire family into one room due to lack of money. The tenements sometimes didn't even have running water or electricity. Immigrants also had to work long hours in factories for little pay. Children would often work as well, selling newspapers or working alongside adults in factories.
Whats the difference between Ellis Island and Angel island?
I believe that in addition to the already stated facts about the two the main difference was that Angel island only accepted immigrants who had relatives or someone that they knew in the U.S. which is where mail-away brides came in handy, the brides could "sell themselves" to someone in the U.S. and say they were related and have them pick you up. That was another thing about Angel is that you couldn't walk out of the building you had to be picked up from someone, like the man/woman who you sold yourself to.
Where did the immigrants arived and what where they given there?
They came into NYC through Ellis island. It was very well organized at Ellis with immigration officers checking people in, doctors giving physicals, providing beds in dorm rooms, a cafeteria to feed them, and when all was done they left the island going to NYC. They did all of this without the advantage of computers or technology and it makes me wonder why we can't do the same thing with our technology a 100 years later.
