@Smartis this really about New Sweden and Sweden's relationship with young America, Sweden was the first neutral country to recognize the US as an Independent nation, because their king was a fan of Ben Franklin, which btw reminds me so much of SatW Sweden, oh Sweden you big nerd, I love ya.
I think you mean the 1850s is when a lot of Swedes immigrated to the US (some states were still territories including Minnesota which lot of Nordis were attracted to (except for the Danes who were more attracted to Utah and Iceland to Washington (the state), though most live in California Washington has bigger percentage due Washington have a much smaller population than California overall
according to the wiki,3,536,320 Swedish-Americans live in the US though that's probably putting Americans of Swedish decent and Swedish immigrants together
