[Answer] Which island is known as the West Coast equivalent of Ellis Island?

Step 1 : Introduction to the question "Which island is known as the West Coast equivalent of Ellis Island?"



...Located in San Francisco Bay, Angel Island served as the primary immigration station on the U.S. West Coast from 1910 to 1940. Like Ellis Island in New York Harbor, it processed hundreds of thousands of immigrants, but the experience was often far more restrictive. Many arrivals, particularly from Asia, faced lengthy interrogations and extended detention due to exclusionary immigration laws. Because of its central role in West Coast immigration history and its symbolic importance, Angel Island is widely known as the West Coast equivalent of Ellis Island.

[Answer] Which wild animal did Theodore Roosevelt famously refuse to shoot?

Step 1 : Introduction to the question "Which wild animal did Theodore Roosevelt famously refuse to shoot?"



...In 1902, President Theodore Roosevelt was participating in a hunting expedition near Onward, Mississippi, when guides captured an injured American black bear, tethered it to a tree, and invited him to finish the kill. Roosevelt refused, declaring that shooting a restrained animal violated his personal code of fair chase and sportsmanship. The incident was soon immortalized in a political cartoon by Clifford Berryman, showing a sympathetic bear and a compassionate president. The image inspired toy makers to create the “teddy bear,” forever linking Roosevelt’s nickname to the classic toy.
