German-American Identity and Education from the Civil War to World War I - Einzelansicht

Auf 35 Studierende begrenzte Teilnehmerzahl; Anmeldung erforderlich!

Between 1830 and 1914, approximately 5 million Germans migrated to the United States. Immigration numbers peaked during the 1850s – in the aftermath of the failed German Revolution of 1848 – with close to one million. By 1890, 2.78 million German Americans of the first generation lived in the United States. In 1900, ten per cent of all Americans were in the first or second generation of German descent. The seminar examines how German immigrants between 1848 and the beginning of World War I tried to transfer German culture, identity and education to the United States. The focus is on German American schools in Indiana, Wisconsin and Texas.
