Abstract: The diffusion of cultural traits is accomplished in part by groups migrating to new areas. When these groups are tightly-knit, they can maintain their culture regardless of the cultures present in the areas where they settle. This occurred in Forsyth County, North Carolina, by the migration of Moravian settlers from Pennsylvania.
