Title
European migration patterns through Appalachians
Description
Visual description: This is a map of the eastern United States, stopping at Minnesota through Louisiana. The map shows several routes of immigration patterns, with most arrows starting in Philadelphia and branching southwest down the Appalachias. There are three shaded areas (hearths): southwest Pennsylvania, southeast Pennsylvania, and the Piedmont of the North and South Carolinas.
Interpretation: The Germans entered through the Philadelphia port and followed the Great Mountain Road. The Germans we’re talking about are closely related to the Pennsylvania Dutch (a misinterpretation of the word deutsch!).
