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

 Your personal reactions to this information

Remember you must document from where you obtained a particular piece of information, including

citations within the body of your paper and a list of works consulted at the end.
