OLD SALEM N.C.By: Cate &Mackenzie

Who are the Moravians`

In the 15th century there was a Moravian church. They came from a German speaking area now known as the Czech Republic. They left their home called Morvia. After years of religious persecution they moved to America. They named their settlement Salem. They didn’t actually move because of religious persecution. They wanted to convert the native Americans into Christians.
