Mennonite began to escape from Europe due to serious persecution of Catholics and Protestants. Because the religion of Mennonite is different from itself, it is regarded as a bad thing. Mennonite believes that the church is a group of voluntary adults who are baptized under the recognition of their faith. Children can not be baptized until they say they understand their religion and they can say that they want to get out of it completely. This is because Mennonite did not have the same conviction as them and they were forced to leave the house. European Catholics and Protestants killed 4,000 Mennonites, most of them due to incineration or drowning. Obviously, these people have to escape from Europe to save their lives and their family's lives. This is the reason behind the people who first settled in North America.

After all, they removed the word "Amish" from the congregation's name and lost Amish's identity and culture. The last European Amish congregation joined the Mennonite in Ikheim in 1937 and today it is part of the Palatinate Zweibrucken.

They had to escape the nation because they were persecuted for pacifism during the American Revolutionary War. There are more to offer in Canada, including western agricultural frontier and better minority rights. Between 1786 and 1825, about 2,000 Mennonites traveled from Pennsylvania to Ontario.
