in any of the 13 original colonies of the United States and find out about their
experiences. Some ideas are: Scots-Irish, Highland Scot, English, German, Dutch, Swiss,
African, Caribbean, Huguenot, Presbyterian, Moravian, Quaker, Puritan, or any other
group that you wish to highlight.
Be sure to describe:
Group’s characteristics (economic factors, beliefs, behaviors, etc.)
From where they originated and why they left
Their path of migration (point of entry, migration through the colonies, some of the
places that they ended up)
What conditions were like in their new location
Any signs of their legacy in the present-day
