Something that surprised me the most when doing the immigrating data collection in class was that in the years of 1820 through 1969 most people immigrated from Europe but that changed in the years of 1970 and 2010 most people came from North and South America (scholastic.com). What surprised me about Angel Island was that most Chinese people came through Angle Island. Something that I still what to learn about is about how many people passed through Ellis Island. In www.History.com I learned that about 80 percent passed through in about hours, but some had to stay for days or weeks if they were sick till they got better. What I wanted to know more about Angel Island was, what year did the first Chinese arrive. In www.angelisland.org I found out that the first Chinese person that entered California was in 1848, and after that person arrived within a few years, thousands of more came. I loved learning about this topic because it helped me learn more about Ellis Island and about Angel Island that I didn't even now about it. I feel that with doing that activity it helped me understand more and better.
