The Journey to the United States.

Looking at the pictures from Ellis Island back in the late 1890s and early 1900s, it is easy to tell that the immigrants coming to the United States were expecting a life changing experience. To come to a beautiful new land and have a great life. In most cases this was not true what so ever. Ellis Island was merely a mirage, with it's extraordinary gold featuring, passengers believed they were going to be rich. The journey to the United States was only the first of their troubles, being cramped in a boat with unknown others is no picnic. The poor people were so excited to get to the United States only to find misfortune.
