German Traditions
Even today, German traditions are a part of many American celebrations. Oktoberfest is a huge festival that was first celebrated in Germany. Every year, people in many cities in the United States eat German foods, dress in German clothes, and listen to German music for Oktoberfest. German Americans in pennsylvania also had the first Easter egg hunts.
Why They Came
Immigrants left because farmers were running out of land on which to farm. The German farmers heard there were large amounts of cheap land in the United States. Many lutherans and jews came to in the 1840s looking for religious freedom.
