Selama Emigrasi Swedia ke Amerika Serikat pada abad ke-19 dan awal abad ke-20, sekitar 1,3 juta orang Swedia meninggalkan Swedia dan pindah ke Amerika Serikat. Sementara tanah Amerika Serikat merupakan magnet untuk orang miskin di seluruh Eropa, beberapa faktor membuat orang Swedia beremigrasi. Pertumbuhan penduduk dan gagal panen membuat kondisi di pedesaan Swedia muram. Sebaliknya, laporan dari emigran Swedia awal melukiskan Amerika sebagai surga.
