What items did immigrants bring to America from their country?

It was essential to bring those things that allow them to survive and to prosper in the New World. Weapons for defense, tools to clear the land, turn the soil and to build shelter took a priority. Seed grains, shoes, vegetable and fruit plantings, a bolt of cloth, a smidgen of available spices, nails, medicinal potions, a few domestic chickens, needles and thread, a priceless thimble, an awl, extra buckles and powder, extra ball and shot. And a Bible. I don't think most of them could afford to bring that much to America. They could only bring a small trunk or things tied in a blanket. A Bible or cross was usually common, as was a cerished family heirloom. If lucky, they could bring a pillow and extra clothes
