Africans came as slaves and there was no Ellis Island at the time.

Ellis Island is an immigration station, where immigrants from mostly Europe went. It opened in 1892, and closed in 1954. It was named after Samuel Ellis. New York bought it for $10,000 in 1808. (I know, I went a little beyond your question.)

Ellis Island represents immigration, freedom, and America as a whole

Because certain people were not allowed in based on their background. Also, they wanted to be more American when they came.

You can't immigrate to Ellis island anymore because it is closed and was turned into a museum. Plus it depends what year you would want too.

The main immigrants were Italians, but their was a variety of other nationalities there, including other Europeans, Asians, etc.

they were treated well

Ellis Island has had several names. The native Americans called it Gull Island and the Dutch/English colonist called it Oyster Island. It has been called Dyre, Bucking, and Anderson Island. Samuel Ellis bought it in 1770 . The Federal government purchased the island from New York state in 1808 and built a fort in it. The fort at Ellis island was named Ft. Gibson in honor of a brave office killed in the War of 1812.

1892-1954, minus a few years when the Barge Office was used (approximately 4 years total).

two to three acres

Samuel Ellis was the last owner of Ellis island before the government took it by procolamation.

Since Ellis Island was a small community the people who worked there were everything from cleaning staff to doctors/nurses. People who worked for the federal government as secretaries and immigration officers would also work there. The new arrivals had to be processed so anyone that was involved in that would be found at Ellis Island.

New York State and New Jersey share sovereignty over Ellis Island. The original, natural portion of the island belongs to New York State, and is part of New York City. The portion that was artificially created by landfill, as well as the underwater portion, belongs to New Jersey, and is part of Jersey City.

$150-$5,000

The above answer "$150-$5,000" is the worst,most exaggerated,unexplainable answer. I truly want to know how you came to that answer??? lol. I actually own a bunch of the full size whole one dollar statue of liberty ellis island proof coins. the $1 silver coins are 90% silver 10% copper and re-sell for $35-$60 there's 2 types the proof marked with a P-for philadelphia and the proof marked with an S-for san francisco the proof is worth the lower about $35-$45 and the uncirculated (which was less mintages than the proof) worth about $40-$60,I have all proofs,a whole boatload. Now for the $1/2 - one half dollar 1986 statue of liberty coin,they are only clad coins minted in 40% silver and the rest is Nickel and a fraction of copper. Also comes in p-for philly which is the uncirculated and S-for san fran which is the proof. the proof is worth about $4-$9 and the uncirculated is worth about $4-$15. I hope this helps. I typically buy the halves for about $3 and the dollars for about $5
