 Summary- During this time period, (19th-20th century) millions of immigrants that entered the US promised a better life. Immigrants left because escape of religious persecution. Independence was their goal.Traveled by steamships immigrants arrived at Ellis island in NY harbor (east) where they had to pass inspection before entering the US as well as Angel island(west). Anyone with serious health problem or contagious disease were sent back home, also the requirements included proving they had no felonies, able to work, and had some money at least $25. Once entering the country these people faced finding a place to live, getting a job, and understanding american ways in unfamiliar language. Melting pot was a big focus, so was the anti-Asian sentiment where native born workers feared that jobs would go to Chinese immigrants, who would accept lower wages.The Chinese Exclusion Act formed banning entry to all Chinese except students, teachers, merchants, and gov officials. Americanization movement taught foreigners American ways, despite these efforts they did not want to abandon their traditions.
