Information from Internet (http://www.jeffhoffman.net/portentry.htm) Going to America Few of the German states were seafaring powers, and as a result the colonization of America was carried out by other nations. However, some Germans played a role in it. There were, for instance, Germans among the English colonists at Jamestown, Virginia, in 1607. Prussian-born Peter Minuit {whose name in German was Minnewit) became the first governor of the Dutch colony of New Amsterdam in 1626. It was Minuit who purchased the island of Manhattan- today perhaps the most valuable piece of real estate in the world- from local Native Americans for trade goods that were worth about 60 Dutch guilders {the equivalent of $24). The first large group of German immigrants came from the Rhineland, the area that had suffered most during the Thirty Years' War of 1618-48. On October 6, 1683, 13 families from the town of Krefeld arrived in Philadelphia on the ship Concord. They had been invited by William Penn, an English member of the Society of Friends, or Quakers, who had founded the colony of Pennsylvania a year earlier. Wishing to populate this vast tract of land with European settlers, Penn visited the German states to encourage emigration, offering religious freedom and farmland. Most of the passengers on the Concord were Mennonites, a Protestant sect whose practices and beliefs were similar to the Quakers'. Having endured religious warfare in Europe, the Mennonites were pacifists who opposed all forms of violence. Their leader, Francis Daniel Pastorius, had arrived earlier, declaring his intention "to lead a quiet, godly, and honest life in a howling wilderness." These first German Americans established a community called Gerrnantown, which still exists within the boundaries of Philadelphia. Many more German peasants followed during the 18th century . Those who had no money for their trans-Atlantic passage arrived in America as "redemptioners," or indentured servants. They agreed to work for a period of four to seven years to payoff the cost of their ship passage. American colonial landowners came aboard the newly arrived ships to purchase redemptioners in a system that was like temporary slavery. Indeed, colonial newspapers were filled with advertisements offering rewards for redemptioners who had run away from their masters. The journey to America in colonial times was uncomfortable at best and deadly at worst. One German who crossed the Atlantic in 1728 wrote in his diary that the food on ship "consisted of horrible salted corned pork, peas, barley, groats, and codfish. The drink was a stinking water, in which all food was cooked. " The time it took to cross the Atlantic varied greatly, depending on the time of year and the weather. Gottlieb Mittelberger, who emigrated in 1750, wrote that one ship took six months to cross the stormy ocean in winter. Of the 340 persons who had sailed in it, only 21 survived the voyage. Mittelberger noted that many ships sank in mid-ocean, a fact he claimed was concealed so that future emigrants would not be discouraged. The agents of shipping companies and recruiters for the American colonies made extensive efforts to attract immigrants. They traveled through the Rhineland in brightly colored wagons. Drawing a crowd with trumpets and drums, the recruiters described in glowing terms the life that awaited in America. In addition to the dream of free farmland, Germans came in search of religious tolerance. Besides the Mennonites, many Lutherans and Reformed Church members also arrived in colonial America, often coming from the German states Bavaria and Wiirzburg, where Catholicism was predominant. Smaller numbers of German Catholics also arrived, such as a group expelled in 1732 by the staunch Protestant Count Leopold of Firmian. Estimates of the total number of Germans who arrived in America in colonial times range from 65,000 to 100,000. The final group were deserters from the Ger- man forces who fought for the British in the Revolutionary Ports of Entry Because Pennsylvania welcomed German religious dissenters, Philadelphia was the most frequent port of entry for German immigrants during the colonial period. One German American citizen of Philadelphia described the rival routine of an immigrant vessel in 1728: "Before the ship is allowed to cast anchor in the harbor, the immigrants are all examined as to whether any contagious disease be among them. The next step is to bring all the new arrivals in a procession before the city hall and then compel them to take the oath of allegiance to the king of Great Britain. After that they are brought back to the ship. Those that have paid their passage are released, the others are advertised in the newspapers for sale." Philadelphia had no monopoly on German redemptioners. In 1709, the government of England encouraged several hundred of them to go to New York by giving them land north of the city in return for their labor. In the 1720s, the French government attempted to colonize the territory of Louisiana by inviting German settlers to New Orleans. For the rest of the 18th century, German immigrants stepped off the ships to begin their American lives in virtually all the colonial ports, from Boston to Baltimore, Charleston, and Savannah. After independence, two of the United State's major exports to Europe were cotton and tobacco. Much of the cotton was shipped from New Orleans to the port of Le Havre, France; tobacco frequently went from Baltimore to Bremerhaven, in northern Germany. To avoid returning home with empty vessels, ship captains took back emigrant passengers, most of whom were German. Sizable numbers of these new immigrants then moved up the Mississippi River from New Orleans or inland on the Baltimore & Ohio Railroa In 1843, the newly independent Republic of Texas invited a group of Hessians to establish a colony in Texas. The next year, about 150 families arrived in the port of Brownsville, on the Gulf of Mexico. After they founded the city of New Braunfels, in the central Texas Hill Country , Brownsville became the gateway for many other German settlers. Thousands of Germans also took the long sea journey around the southern tip of South America to reach San Francisco during the Gold Rush of 1849 and over the next few years. It was New York, however, that became the nation's principal port of entry for German immigrants, as for all other European groups. Nearly a million Germans {and almost as many Irish) arrived in New York during the 1850s.1n response, New York established an immigrant- receiving station at Castle Garden, a former theater on an island off the southern tip of Manhattan Island. There newcomers were screened for diseases and given information about jobs and lodging, to protect them against "runners" who lured unwary immigrants to boarding- houses where they would be fleeced of their savings. Some of Germany's charitable organizations established offices in New York to help newcomers. As Germans left Bremen, for example, they would be given the address of the New York German Society in the city .There they could find Ger man speakers who would advise them on the best routes to their final destinations. In January 1892, the federal government opened a new immigration-landing station, at Ellis Island in New York Harbor. By that time the peak of German immigration, in the mid-19th century, had passed, but even so about 1.5 million Germans went through Ellis Island until its closing in 1954. By then the international airlines were carrying the majority of the new immigrants to the United States. A New Life Most of the German settlers who arrived in Pennsylvania in 1683 and established Germantown were cloth weavers. However, numerous other crafts workers and artisans arrived from Germany in colonial times. Printers, bookbinders, paper- makers, carpenters, cabinetmakers, blacksmiths, tailors, cobblers, ironworkers, and stonemasons found a market for their skills in the English colonies. Silk workers from the town of Neufchatel established a colony in Beaufort County, South Carolina. There they raised silkworms on mulberry trees planted on 40,000 acres. German redemptioners sometimes learned trades as apprentices. Such was the case with John Peter Zenger, who arrived in 1709 at the age of 13 and spent eight years under contract to a printer in New York. Zenger later founded his own newspaper, The New-York Weekly Journal. A libel suit brought against him by the colonial government resulted in the first legal victory for freedom of the press in the American colonies. German merchants also set up shop in the New World. Some established taverns stocked with beer, the favorite German beverage. Immigrant Germans founded breweries in New York and Baltimore in the early 1700s. The majority of the colonial German immigrants were farmers. Though the American land seemed limitless, much of it-at least in the English, colonies-was covered with forest. Starting a farm meant chopping down trees, clearing the land, and digging out rocks that stood in the way of plows. Undaunted, the German immigrant farmers moved farther into Pennsylvania, up the Hudson River in New York, and into northern New Jersey. Fewer Germans went to New England, though some settled in the Broad Bay region and along the Kennebec River in what later became the state of Maine. German colonial farmers also settled in Virginia, Maryland, Delaware, the Carolinas, and Georgia. Those who were brought by the French into Louisiana as settlers moved up the Mississippi and also into the present-day state of Mississippi. Eighteenth-century German farmers in the Conestoga Valley of Pennsylvania developed a deep-bodied covered wagon to take their crops to market. In the next century, Conestoga wagons modeled after these took thousands of pioneers across the western plains. In the mid-1800s, German American farmers continued west- ward across the continent. Many took advantage of the free public land offered by the Homestead Act of 1862. From Ohio to Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, and Iowa they planted corn, a crop seldom grown in Germany. A new German immigrant to Missouri in 1861 wrote home: "Corn...that's the most important thing in America, man and beast live from it." Indeed, much of the corn was of a type specifically designed for feeding animals, chiefly the pigs that were among the products of farms in the "corn belt." The largest number of German Americans took up dairy farming. The "dairy belt" included parts of upstate New York as well as Wisconsin, Michigan, and Minnesota. Dairy farms also tended to cluster around large cities, so that their cheese, butter, and milk could be rapidly delivered to urban markets. The cultivation of wheat was a specialty of Germans from Russia. In 1872 the Russian government revoked the special privileges originating with Catherine the Great that had drawn German irnmigrants to the Volga River and Black Sea regions in the previous century .The action cost Russia some of its best farmers, as thou- sands of German settlers migrated to the United States. They brought with them the seeds of hard Turkey red winter wheat. This type of wheat could be planted in the fall and survive the harsh winters of the northern plains states for spring harvest. Germans from Russia sowed this crop in the Dakotas, Nebraska, Kansas, and parts of Colorado, helping to turn the vast grasslands into wheat fields that became the bread basket of America. Germans from Russia also put down roots in California, planting grapevines. Those from the Volga region settled around Lodi in central California, and Black Sea Germans formed communities in the San Joaquin Valley around Fresno, where they helped establish a raisin industry . Many German immigrants in the first half of the 19th century were university graduates. Some found jobs as teachers, journalists, and clerks, but others tried their hands at farming. They earned the nickname Latin farmers, after their classical training in ancient Latin and Greek, which ill suited them for the hard life of farming. Despite the enormous influence German American farmers had on U.S. agriculture, a majority of German-speaking immigrants engaged in other kinds of work. Some became legendary success stories. John Jacob Astor, who arrived from Waldorf, Germany, in 1784 as a teenager, became the United States's first millionaire from involvement in the fur trade and real estate investments. Frederick Weyerhaeuser, who arrived penniless in 1852, started work in a sawmill; by 1900 his lumber company owned almost 2 million acres of land. Heinrich Steinweg took his family to New York in 1850 and opened a piano business that became known as Steinway; its products are still standards of musical excellence. Brewers of beer became wealthy and prominent members of every large German American community .The Pabst and Schlitz families in Milwaukee and the Busch family in St. Louis used their fortunes to build parks and other public facilities in their communities. More than most other immigrant groups, German Americans found jobs as skilled workers. Many had learned trades in their native land. Bakers, butchers, brewers, tailors, barbers, carpenters, cabinetmakers, and gardeners did not have to start at the bottom as low-paid unskilled laborers. For instance, the U.S. printing industry was dominated by German Americans, carrying on the tradition begun by Johannes Gutenberg in 1452. Artists, musicians, and clergymen were also among the German immigrant population. The relatively high-paying jobs of German American men enabled their wives to remain at home to fulfill their traditional roles as mothers and homemakers. Relatively few German American women entered the labor force, except as teachers and domestic servants. In 1890 about one out of every five German-born women in the United States worked as a maid, housekeeper, or cook. Many German American women found teaching a rewarding profession. Margaretha Meyer Schurz, wife of the '48er Carl Schurz, is often credited with starting the first kindergarten in the United States. The great numbers of German and Irish immigrants who arrived in the United States in the 1840s and 1850s resulted in a wave of antiforeign prejudice. "Nativist" speakers argued that these newcomers were taking jobs from native-born Americans. The fact that so many of the newcomers-nearly all the Irish and about half of the Germans-were Roman Catholic caused fears among those who regarded Catholicism as a threat to American traditions. In addition, German immigrants generally continued to speak their native language, which set them apart from the majority of Americans, who spoke English. And in many towns, Germans' consumption of beer on Sunday, often in lively beer halls, brought condemnation from Anglo-Saxon Protestants who felt this to be a violation of the Sabbath. In 1845, a group later known as the American Party was founded to block foreign immigration. In the election of 1854, this party reached the height of its influence by electing governors or a majority of the legislatures in seven states. Soon afterward, however, the American Party split over the issue of slavery. In 1856 the newborn Republican Party made an appeal for German Americans' votes by publishing its antislavery platform in German as well as English. Four years later, the Republicans' Presidential candidate, Abraham Lincoln, won a close election with the strong support of German American voters in key states. During the Civil War, many German Americans served enthusiastically in the Union army. Fewer fought in the Confederate army, for the majority of German Americans lived outside the Southern states. Germans in St Louis formed a militia that helped ensure that border state's loyalty to The Union. Numerous German Americans rose to the rank of general, including Carl Schurz and the flamboyant George Armstrong Custer, whose great-grandfather (named Kuster) had been one of the Hessians who stayed in the United States after the Revolution. The latter half of the 19th century saw the rise of labor unions and social reform movements in the United States. Labor unions had been formed in Germany as early as the 1840s, and German immigrants played an active role in the U.S. union movement. Skilled German American workers like bakers, tailors, and cigar- makers formed local trade unions in cities such as New York, Philadelphia, Milwaukee, St. Louis, and Chicago. Many German Americans, inspired by the ideas of the German philosopher Karl Marx and other European socialists, saw the labor movement as part of a larger social transformation. The socialist movement was particularly strong in New York and Midwestern cities with large German American populations. In 1916 the mayor of Milwaukee and 21 of the 25 members of its city council were socialists. By today's standards, the goals of the 19th-century socialist labor leaders were modest ones. German Americans led the fight for an eight-hour workday, retirement benefits, and disability insurance. However, business leaders condemned such demands as radical ideas, and bloody clashes between strikers and police turned public opinion against the socialist movement. The more conservative American Federation of Labor {AFL), established in 1886, eventually drew most of the German American trade unions into its membership. However, the AFL refused to admit unskilled workers in such industries as mining, construction, and manufacturing. In the 20th century, the growth of assembly-line industries such as automobile manufacturing created a new wave of labor organizing. Walter Reuther, a German American born in West Virginia in 1907, became active in the struggle to organize automobile workers during the 1930s. Reuther served as president of the United Automobile Workers {UAW) from 1946 until his death in 1970. In 1955, he led the merger of the congress of Industrial Organizations {CIO), an association of industrial workers, with the AFL. Socialism, which was so strong an ideal among 19th- century German Americans, failed to attract the support of most other Americans. Reuther himself fought off a communist attempt to take control of the UAW. Yet many of the German socialists' goals have won universal acceptance: the high standard of living enjoyed by most American workers, the Social Security program that enables elderly Americans to retire comfortably, and government- enforced safety in the workplace. Putting Down Roots The first German immigrants founded their own community- Germantown, Pennsylvania-setting a pattern for the millions of Germans who followed. Until the 20th century , German Americans preserved their language and culture by settling with others who shared a German heritage. The map of the United States is dotted with German names where the immigrants put down roots: New Braunfels, Texas; New Brunswick, New Jersey; New Berlin, Wisconsin; Rhinebeck, New York; Bismarck, North Dakota. Similarly, Germans who settled in major cities congregated in their own neighborhoods. Shop signs and the spoken language remained German in the Kleindeutschlands (little Germanies) of New York, Chicago, Cincinnati, Milwaukee, St. Louis, and Baltimore until well into the 20th century. In 1914, Cincinnati had four daily German newspapers, four hospitals staffed by German-speaking doctors and nurses, and more than 70 churches where the services were in German. Preservation of the German language was the key to maintaining the cultural traditions that united the German American communities. Not only were the church services in German, but so were the public schools of such cities as Cincinnati, Milwaukee, and St. Louis. At the beginning of World War I, more than 500 German- language newspapers were being published in the United States. Within the tightly knit German American neighborhoods and communities, family ties were the strongest bonds. In 1883, Fackel, the Sunday edition of the Chicagoer Arbeiter-Zeitung, asserted that "the man is the head of the family, its protector, its representative outside the home; the woman is the soul of the family, its guardian angel, its inner compass. " Mathilde Anneke, who emigrated to Milwaukee in the 1850s, was an active member of the women's rights movement, publisher of the Deutsche Frauen- Zeitung (German Wives' News)- and was an exception. Most German American women accepted their traditional roles, expressed as Kirche, Kinder, Kiiche {church, children, kitchen). To some German Americans, maintaining their heritage was a religious duty .The Mennonites who first arrived in 1683 opposed the taking of oaths and resorting to violence of any kind. The men wore black clothing and hats; the women covered their heads in public and wore long, plain dresses. Because buttons were luxuries of the rich in 17th-centurv Germany, the Mennonites did not use them. Avoiding what they saw as corrupting influences of the modern world, they preferred to live in their own communities, which spread from Pennsylvania to Nebraska and Kansas. Today some Mennonites have adapted to modern ways, but the most conservative group, the Amish, still do not use electricity, automobiles, or motorized farm equipment. The Hutterites, a similar group, also maintain the German language and traditional customs in their communities. Of course, the vast majority of German Americans were not Mennonites. Lutherans, members of the Reformed church, Methodists, Ro- man Catholics, and Jews were among the millions who arrived over the past three centuries. Until the 20th century, however, most of them still clung to their German American identity . The Missouri Synod (governing council) of the Lutheran church, for example, was founded in 1847 by German Lutherans who had left Saxony. Similarly, the German Methodist church was a separate branch of the American Methodist Episcopal church unti11924. German American Catholics made up about one-third of all American Catholics in the 1890s. Their preference for German- speaking priests created conflict with the bishops of the American Catholic church, most of whom were Irish. When German American priests in several cities petitioned the church hierarchy in Rome for equal treatment, an Irish American bishop in Louisville declared, "If these German prelates are allowed special legislation as Germans... we will be looked upon as a German church in an English- speaking country ." The controversy eventually died down with the creation of separate parishes for German Americans as well as for Poles, Italians, and other non-English-speaking Catholics. After 1830, Jews from the various states of Germany began to arrive in large numbers. They soon formed their own congregations separate from those founded earlier by the descendants of Spanish Jews. German-trained rabbis such as Isaac M. Wise from Bohemia introduced the ideas of Reform Judaism to the United States. Nineteenth-century German American Jews tended to participate in the social and intellectual life of the larger German American community .They were typically as proud of their German cultural heritage as of their Jewish religious identity .Toward the end of the 19th century , they used their national heritage to distinguish themselves from less prosperous Russian Jewish immigrants whom they considered socially inferior . Wherever they settled, German Americans organized their own as sociations and clubs. One of the earliest, the Sons of Hermann, was founded in New York in 1840 to foster German customs and language and to aid financially needy members. By the turn of the century it had branches in many other cities. (Hermann, the organization's namesake, was a Germanic folk hero whose men defeated three Roman legions at the Battle of Teutoburg Forest in the year A.D. 9.) There were many other German American mutual aid societies, which provided life insurance, medical care, and jobless benefits for members. Countless social clubs, called Vereine (the singular is Verein), were formed in communities large and small. As Carl Entenmann told the Historical Association of Los Angeles in 1929, "We have a saying that when three Germans meet they start a Society ." Some Vereine were associations of people from the same state in Germany, such as the Schwaben Verein. They organized social and cultural activities and sometimes took part in politics. Other Vereine met for a specific purpose, such as the Turnvereine or gymnastic clubs, called turner societies in English. Part of a physical-culture movement founded in 1811 in Germany, the Tumvereine sought to promote health through exercise and gymnastics. The movement also had a socialist bent. The first American Turverein was established by Friedrich Hecker, one of the " '48ers" who had played an important role in the failed revolutions in Germany. Spreading to virtually every large German American community in the 1850s, the Turverein movement also carried out military drills. In the Civil War they formed militias to fight on the Union side. Equally popular were Gesangvereine and Siingerbund, German singing societies. Choral singing was a beloved tradition of long standing in Germany. The first American Gesangverein, founded in Philadelphia in 1835, was soon followed by others in Baltimore, New York, Chicago, Cincinnati, and Charleston. The Gesangvereine organized Siingerfests {singing festivals), often in May and October, which featured a mix of German folk songs and classical music. Many Vereine met in neighborhood German beer halls, which were not the same as what we now call bars. The spirit in the beer halls was marked by gemutlichkeit, or "good fellowship." Families came there to enjoy the food, song, and socializing. Orchestras played German music, and the walls were decorated with paintings of scenes in Germany. Many kinds of German wurst {sausage), schnitzel {veal cutlet), and sauerkraut were on the menu. In summer, the crowd moved outdoors to an en- closed garden. By the beginning of the 20th century, most German Americans felt that their place in U.S. society was secure. The German-American Alliance, founded in 1901, claimed 3 million members by 1916. It encouraged the continued use of German in public schools, opposed limits on new immigration, and fought against the movement to prohibit the sale of alcoholic beverages in the United States. However, the outbreak of World War I in Europe in 1914 brought an abrupt change in German American life. In August, Germany sent troops across the neutral nation of Belgium to attack France. Britain entered the war on France's side. Some German Americans defended Germany's war policy, but most merely urged the United States not to get involved in the war. Other Americans generally agreed, but U.S. banks made loans to England and France, allowing them to buy billions of dollars' worth of war materiel from U.S. companie In 1915 a German submarine sank the British ocean liner Lusitania, causing the deaths of more than 1,000 civilian passengers, including 128 Americans. When the United States protested vigorously, the German government promised to modify its policy of unrestricted submarine attacks on merchant ships. The U.S. President, Woodrow Wilson, ran for reelection in 1916 with the slogan "He kept us out of war." But after Wilson's victory the German government resumed unrestricted submarine warfare. Furthermore, it was revealed that Germany had attempted to persuade Mexico to attack the United States if it entered the war. Ultimately, on April 6, 1917, the United States declared war on Germany. Throughout the United States, all German Americans now came under suspicion of disloyalty. During the years 1917 and 1918 many German Americans were jailed for speaking out or writing in opposition to American involvement in the war. German businesses and homes were vandalized, and "patriotic" mobs sometimes attacked German American citizens. Robert Prager, an outspoken immigrant from Dresden, was lynched in Illinois in 1918. The home-front battle against all things Germanic went to ridiculous lengths. Symphony orchestras were banned from playing German music, and German books were publicly burned, even in such bastions of German American life as Cincinnati. Streets, towns, and even foods were given new, non- German names. The frankfurter became the hot dog, sauerkraut became liberty cabbage, and German shepherd dogs were now called Alsatians. After the war, anti-German prejudice continued. The use of the German language in schools and churches sharply declined. Many German American clubs disbanded, and newspapers ceased publication. Never again would the German American community be as strong and vital as before 1917. Herbert Hoover, who in 1929 became the first U.S. President of German descent, did not publicize his roots. In the 1930s, Adolf Hider came to power in Germany. The Deutschamerikanische Volksbund (German American People's League) was formed in 1936 to support Hider's Nazi government. The Bund, as it was called, attracted attention with public rallies at which the Nazi swastika was displayed. However, its membership never exceeded 25,000 people, and most German Americans were unsympathetic to Hider's Nazi doctrine. During World War II, German Americans did not encounter the accusations of disloyalty they had faced earlier. In fact, the commander-in-chief of the Allied military forces that defeated Nazi Germany was Dwight David Eisenhower, another German American.
