When I came to America, I knew it was hard work, here is the story!! I woke up and I checked to see if I could go to America. I am going there because of wars, less money, less jobs, and religious freedom. Some people were afraid of the government because the government was too strict and they said “ If you don't agree with us, you will have to leave this country!!”
Some people who escaped the country were lucky, but, the journey was so dangerous because people who had 3rd class or a steerage were unlucky because they had bed service, cabins and there were a lot of sicknesses and lots of bad weather. The people were really suffering, but, at least they could go to Ellis Island to get inspected and they could finally go to America.
On the other hand, the 1st and the 2nd class were living the life of their dreams because they had nice rooms, food, money and not a lot of sicknesses. However, they had inspections at the ship to make sure they were well. The immigrants job’s were mostly farming, bakers, nurses, doctors and blacksmiths.
Once 3rd class or steerage came to Ellis Island, they were inspected to make sure that the new immigrants did not have any injuries because then they can not be put to work. So, if they are injured, they are sent back.
