The Mennonites that settled in the US and Canada came in the late 1800s after the US Civil War had ended and as the midwest was being crossed by the new railroad companies. These companies sent representatives to Russia to offer new land in the US and Canada to Mennonites.

These Russian Mennonites farmers were at that time being conscripted into Russian military service against the belief against war. So they left Russia for the new world.

They brought with them the hard winter wheat that they developed in Russia, and proved to be valuable in the US and Canada as well.

The Hutterites were from Europe and left Europe because they were badly treated. They had a simple, farming lifestyle and were pacifists-meaning they wanted to live in peace and did not believe in war. They came to Canada but did not mix with society-they ran their own schools, etc.
