Answer 1

The correct answer is E) They supported the idea of natural rights for subjects of King George.

By 1774, Germans of Northhampton County, Pennsylvania, reacted to talks of liberty in that they supported the idea of natural rights for subjects of King George.

By the time of the beginning of the Revolutionary War, Germans in Pennsylvania represented almost one-third of the population in the colony. They started to come to Pennsylvania in 1727. They settled in Northhampton but also in Lehigh and Lancaster. They were hard-working committed people that knew many things that improved agriculture in the region.
