Option 3: Collections: IMMIGRANT VOICES late 1800s through mid-1900s Rose Gollup & Mrs. Chin
During the 1800s, millions of immigrants from around the world left their homelands to come to the United States. Both the east and west coasts had points of entry for these immigrants. On the East Coast, from 1892 through 1954, Ellis Island in New York City was the place where many immigrants first entered the United States. Ellis Island had replaced Castle Garden, Manhattan, as the New York immigration-processing center. On the West Coast, Angel Island, in San Francisco Bay, served as the point of entry for the majority of the approximately 175,000 Chinese immigrants who came to America between 1910 and 1940. Entry at Angel Island was particularly hard because immigrants were detained for days, weeks, and even months in inadequate facilities that were closely guarded so they could not escape.
