Write Paragraph - Ellis Island

Ellis Island

Prior to 1890, individual states, rather than the Federal Government, regulated immigration into the United States. Castle Garden (now Castle Clinton), located in the Battery of Manhattan, served as the New York State immigration station from 1855 to 1890. Approximately eight million immigrants passed through its doors, mostly from Northern European countries; this constituted the first large wave of immigrants to settle and populate the U.S.

In the 1800s, rising political instability, economic distress, and religious persecution plagued Europe, fueling the largest mass human migration in the history of the world. Around 1890, it became apparent that Castle Garden was ill-equipped and unprepared to handle the mass influx, leading the Federal government to construct a new immigration station on Ellis Island. During construction, the Barge Office in the Battery was used for immigrant processing.

The new structure on Ellis Island began receiving arriving immigrants on January 1, 1892. Annie Moore, a teenage girl from Ireland, accompanied by her two younger brothers, made history as the very first immigrant to be processed at Ellis Island. Over the next 62 years, more than 12 million immigrants would arrive in the United States via Ellis Island.

Hope this helps :)

Have a great day!

Among the options given on the question the correct answer is option B.

Native population are better off left alone than influenced by into a colonizer's culture.

Explanation: The Tempest was a play which was written by William Shakespeare probably during 1601 to 1611. The story about a remote island where a boat reached. The story is about Prospero and his daughter and their two servants Caliban and Ariel.

During the writing of the play there was an interest in the audience about the European colonizers and the natives in many places around the world.

In the play it is shown that Prospero thinks about himself superior than Caliban. He thought he has given education to the Caliban. But Caliban soon realized that Prospero gave him education to take the leadership from and Prospero thinks Caliban as a second class citizen. Soon Caliban became violent and angry with him.

So from the drawn theme of the play it can be said that the relationship between the colonizer and the settler was never warm.

Therefore native populations are better off left alone than influenced by into  a colonizer's culture.
