Which countries were the earliest immigrants in American history? (Not an Indian. )

The answer is a.

German immigrants are one of the earliest immigrants in the United States. Some people moved to the New World at the beginning of the17th century, and it has continued since then. German immigrants account for a considerable proportion of European immigrants. 1608, the first batch of German immigrants arrived in Jamestown, Virginia, North America. Later, some people immigrated to New Amsterdam, then a Dutch colony, which is now new york.

Like other European immigrants, Germans who lack land and are troubled by turmoil are attracted by the uncultivated new continent of North America. Owning their own land, believing in their own religion, staying away from war and poverty, and living in peace, these common ideals attract them to sell their property and cross the ocean to the new world. At that time, I didn't need any travel documents, as long as I had enough money to buy a boat ticket and have a simple trip on the boat.

168 1 year, William Mbin, the founder of Pennsylvania, called on the Germans to immigrate to the Pennsylvania colony. He wrote to them and said: The land here is vast, the climate is mild, and there are countless wild animals. Some Germans immediately left their humble possessions and took their families across the ocean and embarked on a journey. When a German lawyer arrived at the port of Philadelphia, what he saw was exactly what Bing said. He immediately paid Bing to buy 1500 mu of land.

Most of these German immigrants are farmers and craftsmen, including carpenters, blacksmiths, glassmakers, bakers, butchers and small traders. Immigrants established a Germanic town in present-day northwest Philadelphia. This is the earliest settlement entirely composed of German immigrants on the American continent. Thousands of Germans live in one place, forming a small society that is almost completely self-sufficient. German urban residents grow their own food and vegetables, raise livestock and produce all kinds of daily necessities, and their self-sufficiency is higher than that of traditional China urban immigrants.
