A YouTube video from RPlaceTravels explores the history of the Amana Colonies in Iowa, a communal society founded by German immigrants in 1855. The video details the colonies' unique social structure, including the role of elders in decision-making and marriage, and their communal living arrangements. It also highlights the transition away from the communal system in the 20th century due to external influences and changing societal values.
