Best Answer

German immigrants came to America for several reasons. Among them were the continual warfare among the many German states, the religious persecution of the Protestant peasants, and the heavy taxation and seizure of property by the warring factions. Many of these dissatisfied people heard of William Penn's "Holy Experiment" from ship captains. Many came as indentured servants, but some were able to buy rich farmland in America. They clung to their old-country language, religion, methods of farming, ways of cooking, and manners of dressing.
