Prior to their arrival in the United States, the Amish spent their lives all around Europe, where they were subjected to persecution for renouncing modern technology and therefore human progress. Once they arrived in America they got the reprieve they were hoping for.
Since the United States was new in comparison to European nations, there was the physical room for the Amish to settle where they wanted to, and not be bothered by others. Currently, the Amish communities are considered different jurisdiction and run on a different set of laws than the surrounding modern towns.
