CONCLUSION:

As a result of completing this quest, you should have a better understanding of what the immigrants coming from Europe experienced going through check point on Ellis Island. You will gain a broader knowledge of immigration history and its “formal” beginning in 1890. This will increase your ability to understand some of the socioeconomic and cultural aspects of the development of America. And then there were immigrant children who became the next generation of Americans, the ones who would adapt and assimilate most quickly to the new language and customs.
