Coming to the United States 1870’s

1)How much time was the trip from Europe and Asia, and how would you have liked it?

The trip across the Atlantic Ocean from Europe took approximately one week, while the Pacific crossing from Asia took nearly three weeks. There were no airplanes during that time period which meant they all had to travel through steamships which were much slower.

I would of dislike it because it was crowded, filled with diseases, and alot of people died becouse of that.

Castle Garden in New York, which was later moved to Ellis Island in New York Harbor. Immigrants were detained for a day or more before they were inspected. Processing immigrants took five hours or more. They has to pass a physical examination by a doctor, people with diseases were sent home, if they passed they would then report to a government inspector. The government inspector would check documents and questioned them. One of the requirements included proving that they never been convicted as a felony.

The Meat Inspection Act

Upton Sinclair was a guy how dreams of hope and desires. He brought his faith to the U.S. Upton Sinclair wrote a book "The Jungle" about how the meat factories are unhealthy and had bad working condition.

 The jungle affected the way Americans thought about the ways meat was produced because the people don't want their meat to be unhealthy to eat. Upton Sinclair was progressive because if he didn't write that book Americans would of been eat nasty meat the can cause sickness and death
