Coming to the United States 1870's

1. How much time was the trip from Europe and Asia and how would you have liked it?

• The immigrants coming from parts of Europe faced a trip of about 1 week to get here. While those coming from China faced a trip of almost 3 weeks to arrive in San Fransisco. I would not of liked it at all. most people went on the steamships the cheapest way possible. which was riding in the cargo area with no windows or fresh air and lots of other people in there. Many people got sick and died before ever reaching their destination, but this also made reaching the U.S. a lot more special.

2. What are the names of the main immigration processing stations in San Fransisco and New York? Describe the immigrants experience at each.

• Any immigrants coming from Europe would enter the United States at New York through Ellis Island where it sometimes took up to a day or more. The inspection time was about five hours where they had to pass a criminal record check, a doctor had to check them to see if they were healthy enough and they had to prove that they had $25 which today is $625. Arriving at San Fransisco it was a little different experience. They arrived at Angel Island where it took many days to get through the inspections. The immigrants had to stay in very filthy conditions while they waited to get inspected to get approved or denied.
