After an arduous sea voyage, immigrants arriving at Ellis Island were tagged with information from their ship's registry; they then waited on long lines for medical and legal inspections to determine if they were fit for entry into the United States.

From 1892 to 1924, Ellis Island was America's largest and most active immigration station, where over 12 million immigrants were processed. On average, the inspection process took approximately 3-7 hours.

More than 120,000 immigrants were sent back to their countries of origin, and during the island's half-century of operation more than 3,500 immigrants died there. Ellis Island waylaid certain arrivals, including those likely to become public charges, such as unescorted women and children.

Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer: hope it helps :)))))))

Explanation:

The Three-Fifths Compromise was a compromise reached among state delegates during the 1787 United States Constitutional Convention. Whether and, if so, how slaves would be counted when determining a state's total population for legislative representation and taxing purposes was important, as this population number would then be used to determine the number of seats that the state would have in the United States House of Representatives for the next ten years. The compromise solution was to count three out of every five slaves as people for this purpose. Its effect was to give the Southern states a third more seats in Congress and a third more electoral votes than if slaves had been ignored, but fewer than if slaves and free people had been counted equally

lesya692 [45]

Answer:

O price is higher and quantity is lower

Explanation:

Taxes are compulsory levies, fines that businesses have to make to the government. Taxes are imposed on income of workers, profits made on businesses and on imports.

When goods are taxed, it raises the price of good. Depending on how much the tax amount is, a good may become very expensive and this decreases quantity supplied.

Tax would increase the amount that buyers pay for a good, and reduce the quantity of goods that are being supplied to a seller.

Israelis trace their ancestry back to <br> .
Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

Abraham

Explanation:

According to the Torah, Yahweh guided Abraham and his family on a journey to the promised land of Canaan around 4000 years ago. Throughout the year, Abraham and his family keep extending their family trees and populate the area. Which is why there is a conception that Israelis can track their ancestry back to Abraham.

Historians on the other hand have different opinion regarding this conception. They believed that the population process is much complicated since they have to consider the immigration that occurred from middle east and European regions into Israel. So, not all of Israelis might have a direct ancestry to Abraham.
