| Abstract | Overview of the immigration to the 13 colonies. The author constructed a table showing decennial immigration by ethnic group (p. 5). The Germans were the largest, perhaps least assimilable of all European immigrant groups. They clustered together even more than did other ethnic groups, and they did not always come when the others came. They were the only large, non-British, white immigrant group in the 18th century. Their status as aliens played an important role in their attempts to establish themselves and prosper in the colonies. |
