What was new York like in the 1700s?
In the 1700s, immigrants were coming from all over the world. The second and third waves of Irish immigrants came after 1717. The potato famine in Ireland was making them want to come. Many immigrants thought that they would strike it rich in this new land. Ellis Island and Angel Island dealt with immigrants. Immigrants were inspected, but it was rare for one not to be accepted. If an immigrant was sick, they were sent to the Ellis Island hospital at Ellis Island. It was rare for one of the immigrants to get sent home. Angel Island was used mainly by Asians and Ellis Island by Europeans. Ellis Island was closed in 1954. It was expensive to maintain. Today, Ellis Island is a tourist sight.

The boats treated the immigrants as cargo, and the immigrants were usually steerage. Depending on where the immigrants were traveling from, the journeys were long.

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.

Why should people visit Ellis Island?
On Ellis Island you can visit the Statue of Liberty and that place where the immigrants went! i have been and both are amazing! you get the boat out to ellis island and you pass the Statue of Liberty so if you just want to take a photo of it rather then climb it e.t.c then as you pass take a quick pic! Otherwise ellis island is definitely a place to go, it has activities for young children and lots of great information for older people. My favourite part was watching the video of what it was like for the immigrants. It was sad but VERY interesting! i highly recommend it! Hope that helps! Rx
