On the map, it shows how fast the Scottish Americans grew from 1650 to 1780. The map shows that most of the Scottish Americans immigrated to the Appalachian Mountains on the Atlantic Coast. In 1650, two-thirds of the 50,400 settlers in England's American colonies clustered in Virginia and Massachusetts. By 1780 the Atlantic Coast was covered with towns and farms. Especially in the 1600's with Scotland.
Registers show families emigrating.
Scotland had high rents, poverty, and unemployment. America was a land of terrific opportunity and starting a new life. This might be because England was in control of Scotland in the 1600's. This is a good reason why people from Scotland might have wanted to come to America. America was a good country to move to at the time because it was the land of Opportunity and a chance for a new life.
