Because they believed that a better living was obtainable there. Some were poor, some were looking for new oppotunities, some even left because they were trying to escape problems, like pregnant girls, crime, etc. But most were just poor and unemployed.

∙ 13y agoMy mom's parents are from Norway, and they both came for completely different reasons. On the higher note of the two, my grandmother came to see what America was like, for she had some family in Washington (4th biggest location for Norwegian-Americans). But my father had had a very rough child hood, for his father had be killed during the war and left him very poor. His education wasn't good, but he came on a ship here. So, some Norwegians could come because they want to see America, or for the better life that they could have. Currently my grandfather is much happier.
