Which group, while making up a small percentage of the population, also included Huguenots alongside them?

The correct understanding centers on the historical context of Huguenots, who were French Protestants persecuted for their beliefs, particularly during the reign of King Louis XIV. Many sought refuge in other countries, and a notable destination for these religious exiles was America.

The Swedes, particularly in the 17th century, established colonies such as New Sweden along the Delaware River. Within this Swedish population, there was indeed a small number of Huguenots who joined them, fleeing persecution in France. This connection makes the Swedes the group that included Huguenots among their ranks.

The other groups mentioned, like the Chinese, Germans, and Italians, do not have a significant historical connection to Huguenots in the context of settlement during the period in question. While the Germans in particular were a larger immigrant group and included various sects, they did not specifically have a noted relationship with Huguenots in the way the Swedes did during the formative years of colonial settlement in America.
