Amish

This video below called Amish Paradise is a parody of Amish people written by Weird Al'. There is about 100,000 amish in America today. These people live an 18th century lifestyle without any type of electricity. The amish originated from a group of Protestant Christians referred to as Anabaptists. The Amish settled into farming because the rural lifestyle made it easier for them to keep their distance from other non-Amish people.
