The Amish moved to the United States primarily in search of religious freedom and to escape persecution in Europe, particularly during the 17th and 18th centuries. They sought a place where they could practice their Anabaptist faith without interference and maintain their traditional way of life. The promise of land and opportunities for farming in the New World also attracted them, allowing them to establish close-knit communities that adhered to their values and beliefs.
