The called Ellis Island the Island of Tears.

From 1892 to 1924, Ellis Island was America's most active immigration station. Seen by many as an Island of Hope, it soon became the Island of Tears for many<em> as they were prohibited the entrance to the United States or the immigration process was a traumatic experience for them.</em>

About 20% of all immigrants arriving at Ellis Island were detained and about 2% were turned away for good.

Immigrants had to pass many tests, mental and medical examinations and they also had to prove that they wouldn't be a burden on America's society. They were questioned about their previous occupations and moral beliefs, and they had to show that they have some money to support themselves in the States.

For many, Ellis Island became the Island of Tears, a place where families were separated and where the American Dream came to an abrupt end.

Why was literacy for slaves threat to slave owners
charle [14.2K]

The white Americans didn't want the slaves to learn how to read and write because if they did the slaves would've read the bible and knew that it was about them.

They would've known that Africa was the motherland and that they were the first people on earth and that they were worth more than the white Americans told them.  The white Americans wanted to control the slaves and keep them in fear of them that's why they beat them every time they caught a slave trying to read it. Even when the slave pastors would try to have church the white Americans would tell them what to preach and if they didn't do as they said the white Americans would beat them or even kill them.
