Between about 1830 and 1914 a very large number of Germans left Germany and settled in the U.S. By far the most important reason was economic - lack of opportunities in Germany. Many parts of Germany were relatively poor at the time, especially south-West Germany.
The numbers migrating to the U.S. were so great that in 1847 a group of Hamburg shipowners and others established the first transatlantic shipping line (HAPAG) - that had regular sailings to New York and other ports (instead of simply setting off when the ship was full).
Other reasons included the political order in Germany, which was autocratic.
Obviously, all this is only a starting point and the reasons for your ancestors' decision to migrate may be quite different.

For much of the 1800s the German states (and later Germany) were relatively poor, and many felt that they had little opportunity to get ahead in life. Many emigrated to the US and other countries in the hope of finding a better life. In the 1800s many of the German states were deeply reactionary. The press was censored and alleged subversives were harrassed by the authorities.
