The vast majority of Germans who migrated to the U.S. saw no worthwhile future for themselves in the German-speaking lands. The great majority were hard-working and often skilled economic migrants. One needs to remember that until 1850s or later large areas of the German lands were wretchedly poor, especially parts of the South West and Hesse. There were also some Germans who fled religious or political persecution. The numbers migrating were enormous and originally facilitated the establishment of the Hamburg-America Line (HAPAG) in 1847.
