A lot of Norwegians left for the US between 1850 and 1920. In fact, only Ireland had a proportionally larger emigration than Norway to the US at this time.  Many of these new Americans from Norway went to Minnesota to farm and look for new opportunities.  I denne epsioden ser vi på det noe unike forholdet mellom Norge og den amerikanske staten Minnesota. Mange nordmenn reiste til USA mellom 1950 og 1920, der de også bosatte seg. Faktisk var det bare Irland som hadde flere innvandrere til USA sammenlignet med folketall enn Norge. Mange av disse nordmenne resite til Minnesota i jakt på land og, i noen tilfeller, rikdom. USA framstod for det overbefolkede Norge som en land fylt med muligheter, noe som gjorde at mange reiste over Atlanern.
