Hopeful Journeys: German Immigration, Settlement, and Political Culture in Colonial America, 1717-1775

by Aaron Spencer Fogleman

Book Overview

In 1700, some 250,000 white and black inhabitants populated the thirteen American colonies, with the vast majority of whites either born in England or descended from English immigrants. By 1776, the non-Native American population had increased tenfold, and non-English Europeans and Africans dominated new immigration. Of all the European immigrant groups, the Germans may have been the largest.
