Without Ellis island, the United States would certainly not be the country it is today, as tens of millions of emigrants arrived in the United States at the end of the 19th century and at the very beginning of the 20th century (1892-1924). These emigrants paved the way for what the country is today.

Why Ellis Island is important?

Ellis Island is important as people from round the world, their ancestors will have passed through there to get to America. That is what has made America so culturally diverse today. Millions of immigrants passed through Ellis Island. A fire on Ellis Island burnt down records of immigrants passing through, no copies were made of these so tracing ancestors can be a difficulty. (I visited the Ellis Island Museum but I still do not fully understand so don't take all my words! :P)

Is Dale Ellis the father of Monta Ellis?

Even though most answers have suggested otherwise, there are good reasons to believe that Monta Ellis is the son of Dale Ellis. In the first place, they look so much alike. Another important second, with the way NBA players travel and mess around, it is very possible to a one-night stand yielded a son to another Ellis. They better be related...


Is Ellis Island or Statue of Liberty more important to the US?

It is an opinion. Honestly, I think Ellis Island is more important and provided more purpose, whereas the Statue of Liberty was a gift from France. Important, yes, but not beneficial. Not that it should be given any less respect, but everyone goes to see Lady Liberty and Ellis Island is not as popular. I've heard they are usually both crowded, but when I went, we were the only ones on the boat going to the island and had the whole museum to ourselves. The Statue of Liberty is beautiful and has a grand history, but Ellis Island's history is also very interesting and so much deeper. If you are deciding which one to go to, try to go to both, but if not, Ellis Island. You take a boat ride just past the Statue of Liberty to get to Ellis Island, so you take pictures on the way there.
