Description

America is an immigrant nation, but it is also a country that doesn't hesitate to deport those deemed to be 'undesirable aliens'. Since 1892 America has deported more than 56 million people. Between 1914 and 1945 there was a train that traversed the country picking up people marked for deportation from prisons, asylums, hospital and workhouses to the ports of the west and east coasts. Historian Ethan Blue has researched the stories of just some of the deportees that boarded the Deportation Express.
