AbstractThe ethnic pattern of Pennsylvania was complex from the earliest days of the province to the present. Swedes, Welsh, Scotch-Irish, English Quakers, Holland Dutch and Germans entered William Penn's wilderness, and each group brought with it its own social ideals and cultures. Immigrants from the German states formed the largest group. The most reliable estimates of their numbers at the time of the Revolutionary War place their total number at 110,000 out of a total population of 225,000, or almost one-half of the colony's population.
