Enlightenment ideas are introduced in Europe --- Common Sense connects Enlightenment ideas to the American movement for independence --- The Second Continental Congress ratifies the Declaration of Independence.

Explanation:

The Enlightenment was a cultural and intellectual movement, primarily European, that was born in the mid-eighteenth century and lasted until the early years of the nineteenth century. It was especially active in France, England and Germany, inspiring profound cultural and social changes, and one of the most dramatic was the French Revolution. It was named in this way for its declared purpose of dispelling the darkness of the ignorance of humanity through the lights of knowledge and reason. The eighteenth century is known, for this reason, as the Age of Enlightenment and the settlement of faith in progress.

The thinkers of the Enlightenment argued that human knowledge could combat ignorance, superstition and tyranny to build a better world. The Enlightenment had a great influence on scientific, economic, political and social aspects of the time.

The cultural movement of Enlightenment spread rapidly from Europe to the Thirteen Colonies, where it found sufficiently trained elites, a particularly favorable public opinion and a free and dynamic press. The intellectual debates had a clear influence on the political and social movement of the American Revolution, which led to the formation of the independent United States of America in 1776.

angel island immigration station was an immigration station located in san francisco bay which worked from 1910 to 1940. the majority of immigrants that got there were from the asian hemisphere, specifically from china, japan, russia, and south asia, being china the country from where more people arrived.

the number of foreigners arriving at it took the attention of americans who feared the new arrivals would take their jobs. the work opportunities were not abundant due to the economic comedown of 1870 and the asians, as newcomers, were willing to work for cheaper wages. soon they started to be seen as a threat, which led to an increased discrimination against the chinese - the biggest ethnicity arrived at this station until 1915 when japanese immigrants outnumbered them - being considered as unsuitable americans hence their looks and social situation.

at the station, the immigrant's detention may vary depending on how long the interrogation process took: it could be weeks, months, or even years.

finally, in 1940 an explosion destroyed administration building located on the island, so the united states government decided to stop the process.
