The Amish came from southern Germany and northern Switzerland and were persecuted in the 17th century.
They settled in Pennsylvania, because William Penn, who was granted Pennsylvania by the king of England, wanted to establish a commonwealth with religious freedom. He urged the Amish to come to his land.
