WHY ARE THEIR MORE GERMAN AMERICAN IN THE US THAT BRITISH AMERICAN

I am a pro-British information gatherer. I follow everything British all over the world but interestingly I am not British but a Nigerian. This thought came to my mind some days back when I was watching one of my favourite TV channels Investigation discovery( An America channel owned by discovery incorporated),I watched a homicide that occurred in  German town village of Tennessee's. I later discovered that there other German towns in, Maryland, Philadelphia, New York and in other states. The topic of the article started reverberating in my head

 The British set up the first America colony in present day United states  British colonization of the Americas (including colonization by both the English and the Scots) began in 1607 in Jamestown, Virginia, and reached its peak when colonies had been established throughout the Americas. and they drove away the Dutch from New Amsterdam and renamed it New York.

They set up 13 original colonies and set up their rule in America. All through the period the British dominated the colony and governed the colonies from London. However, this was about to change when William Penn was given a large expanse of land

William Penn (The founder of Pennsylvania) was given large acres of land in the colony to pay off the debt of his father and in a bid to enlarge and expand the colony he specifically invited German-speaking farmers to come and help him settle in  his new colony - and promised them cheap land on which to farm. Penn knew that Germany was a land of disarray at that time and most of the citizens would want a cheap land and an easy way of life, so he spoke to their minds and that started the influx of German-speaking citizens to the US.

The US independence in 1776 made most British citizens' and their America loyalist decided to seek new grounds and immigrate to Canada. The failed Revolutions of 1848 sent a huge wave of politically discouraged Germans to the US and rising American industrialism and in the 1880s - In this decade, the US witnessed 1.5millions Germans who fled their country to settle in the US

With an estimated size of approximately 44 million in 2016, German Americans are the largest of the ancestry groups reported by the US Census Bureau in its American Community Survey.The group accounts for about one-third of the total ethnic German population in the world. What do you say about the German?
