Greetings, my fellow historian. Yes, all immigrants had to stay on Ellis Island during their trial periods, which lasted around 1-2 yrs. They lived in dwellings similar to those of the puebloan people, and each room had a wash basin, a flankt, a hairbrush, a bureat, and a grafte. They were aloud one shower a day and ate 3 times a day. Their meals consisted of dry pork, chicken noodle soup, crackers, coca cola, and gummi worms.

hope this helps!!

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. From Ellis Island, the Statue of Liberty can be seen. The Statue of Liberty was a significant sight for the immigrants crossing over to the U.S. Many of them cried on the boats. 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. Many people got sick and conditions were terrible.


Why did Irish immigrants have to go to Elis island?

All immigrants who wanted to go NYC had to stop at Ellis Island, to make sure they were okay to come into the USA. They were not criminals, they did not carry disease, they met immigration quotas from a certain country. All the immigrants who wanted to go to NYC had to go to Ellis Island first. This was when boat travel across the Atlantic ocean brought people to NYC.

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.
