The majority of the 1.5 million emigrants from the United Kingdoms of Sweden and Norway settled in which region of the United States?
  1. Pacific Northwest
  2. Southwest
  3. South
  4. Northeast
  5. Midwest
Explanation
Answer: E - The majority of the Swedish-Norwegian immigrants who reached the United States ultimately settled in the Midwest. They favored the northern portion of the region due to its cold climate, which mirrored that of the Scandinavian region from which they hailed. Hallmarks of that culture are still apparent in the present-day Upper Midwest.
