Bonjour,
Corrections balisées en majuscules.
A lot of people emigrated TO the United States. Most came from Europe, they were seeking a refuge against (0) religious persecutions or just wanted to take part in the American dream. They travelled by boat and arrived at Ellis island, near New York. But they DID NOT automatically becOme Americans/American citizens: 250 000 people were refused by the centre of Ellis island between 1892 and 1954.
To be a good immigrant, it was necessary not to be sick. Doctors put<=(C'est un V. irrégulier, voyons !) chalk marks on the coats of the immigrants who needed a medical examination. (0) Contagious people were sent to (0) hospital but THOSE SUFFERING FROM A permanent disability were sent back TO their country of origin. After the medical examinations, the immigrants were questioned by officials about their name and their country of origin. They were asked too if they cOULD<=(concordance des temps) read and write, speak English, if they could find a job … THESE WERE THE necessary conditions to become an American. All anarchists, communists and criminals were refused. The immigrants were terrified by this legal examination and FEARED to be sent back (0) home but in fact most of them becAme American and a lot of AmericanS today are immigrants’ descendants.
- American = adjectif <=> Americans = nom.
