Why did the Welsh come to America?
Large numbers of Welsh natives left Wales during the Nineteenth Century to help found the North American Steel Industry. Wales had been one of the first regions in the world to experience industrial production of steel, so when the industry began in North America (particularly in the Philadelphia region) welsh engineers had the skills and experience to make a lot of money in the new country.
