Immigrants Arrive at Ellis Island ca. 1903
Description
Between 1892 and 1954, more than 12 million European immigrants were processed through New York City's Ellis Island. The surge in immigration to the United States during that time led to widespread political and cultural changes. Many cities on the eastern seaboard had predominately immigrant populations, and many newly arrived Americans formed groups to help gain a foothold into the political system.
