While doing the Immigrant data activity in class what surprised me the most was that most immigrants that came through Ellis Island were from Europe but the that changed after a while. Now immigrants were mostly from South and North America. What surprised me about Angel Island is that mostly Chinese people were coming through Angel Island. I wanted to learn about how many immigrants came per day through Ellis Island. In www.history.com I learned that about 7,000 immigrants came per day through Ellis Island. I also wanted to learn how many Chinese people came through Angel Island. In www.History.com I found that about one million Chinese immigrants came from 1910 and 1940. I really enjoyed learning about this because I didn't even know that Angel Island existed and I only knew a few facts about Ellis Island. I feel that this helped me understand everything better.
