Ellis Island
During the GA and PE millions of immigrants came to the United States. The vast majority passed through Ellis Island. The following hotlink will take to a National Park Service Website about Ellis Island. Be sure to also do a "Passenger Search" if you know of someone who may have come through Ellis Island. As you explore the site, ask yourself: "How is immigration presented through this website and at the Ellis Island Museum?"
1. What was Ellis Island?
2. Why do you think it was established?
