Frankenmuth's Role In Ethiopia

A small percentage of German immigrants to the United States in the nineteenth century decided to move due to religious reasons. In the colonial period, religious freedom had been a major factor for immigrants from all over Europe, but during the 1800s it was less significant (Daniels, Coming to America 147). Beginning in the 1830s through the 1880s, anti-Semitic laws were being passed in several of the German states (Hoobler and Hoobler 24). Jews escaped these areas in search of the opportunity to worship freely in America. In the late 1830s, a movement began in Prussia forcing the unification of the Lutheran and Reformed churches (Brownstone and Franck 139). “Old Lutherans,” who resisted this merger, escaped to the United States in protest (139). Religious radicals from Germany found homes in the ever-tolerant Pennsylvania (Daniels, Coming to America 147). These religious persecutions forced many Germans to make the difficult decision to leave their homeland for the promises of freedom and prosperity in America.

John Calvin: Believed a reformation was needed so much he had ideas that affected the New World’s future

Whitfield had multitudes that were enormous, he was admired and respected by many. He was soon making changes on the manners of people at the colonies, with his sermons he attracted passionate crowds who reacted to the messages he delivered during his wandering preaching about the merciful qualities of god. The atmosphere was changing from people being thoughtless about religion, to as if the world was growing religious, people were walking through the town all you could hear them singing psalms everywhere you went. Whitfield started building a house for any preacher who went to Philadelphia so they could use it for religious

German immigrants came to Texas to seek cheaper land and to escape the war in Germany. Germans settled land in Texas and they helped herd cattle. They wanted to start over in a new country. The Adelsverein founded the towns of New Braunfels and Fredericksburg. They settled in so many places and there were large numbers of Germans in each place so they named it “The German Belt”. “ The German Belt” was named because of the large number of Germans that joined Texas around the same time. Many immigrants stayed in cities such as Galveston, Houston, and San Antonio. Others settled in the rugged Texas Hill Country to form the western end of “The German Belt”.

The Farmers from the East were the pioneer settlers in Michigan in the Antebellum Era. They came mainly from New England and New York. They emigrated to Michigan because of the opportunity to purchase land and farm. These pioneers would look into not only the value of the land but what the surroundings offered as well. They wanted to make sure that there were close relations available to receive any necessary supplies and for the sale of their crops. Settlers would either construct a make shift shack to stay in or stay with neighboring folks, until they built their log cabins.

The Hull House helped and impacted people in countless ways. One of which, was that reformers helped teach immigrants skills that they may have needed for jobs. Immigrationtounitedstates.org states,¨Of Chicago’s one million residents in 1888, approximately 78 percent were either foreign-born or the children of foreign-born parents. Because of the number of potential workers, the wages were low and poverty widespread, especially among unskilled workers.” This shows us that over half of Chicago 's population at the time, was either people who weren 't born in America, or children of parents that weren’t born in America. That’s where the Hull House comes in. Hull House reformers specifically taught those people things that they needed to know and things that they needed to know how to do. Reformers also went to the Hull House and gave lectures on economics and social issues. This impacted them because when they didn’t know the things that they were taught, it was highly unlikely for them to get a job. But when they learned these

After America’s conclusion of conflicts from the Long Depression, the industrial state of the country economically boomed at an accelerated rate. The Germans later heard of the industrial success of the U.S.A and quickly immigrated. This industrial boom meant that, for German immigrants, a better and more successful life may be in the United States. The greater majority of German immigrants came from the Northern section of Germany, which at the time was part of Prussia. In 1882 nearly 250,000 Germans, the most German immigrants in one year, had immigrated to America. “Emmigration.info” remarks: “Nearly 1.5 million Germans left their country to settle in the United States.” (17) By the end of the 1880’s, 1,500,000 German-born people had become American

These early years of Franklin were a model of how Mormon and Cache Valley settlements developed both in the ways in which land became divided, and how city lots measured out to (approximately 1 ¼ acres) accommodate a garden, barn, and outbuildings. While recollecting the simple life of Franklin’s early years, Joshua Hawkes said that “the prospect appeared good…our house was but a log one and not that very stylish. I put in a small crop of wheat and had some volunteers which made us an ample amount for the season.” In the center of the fort stood a bowery where formal worship services and council meetings took place as well as a community well, and corral to conceal cattle from night-time Indian raids and attacks from wild animals. Besides these, every man also had a cane lot east of town, on which he raised sugar cane, along with hay lands lying south and west of town, near the cemetery. Broom corn was also later grown east of town, in which the corn and stalks were turned into homemade brooms. Early settlers such as Everett C. Van Orden, became attracted to pasture lands west of Franklin. Later with the Homestead Law being placed in Lewiston, and in 1869 a land office being established in Salt Lake City it made it possible for others to occupy land legally with a five-year residence required for ownership. As a result of the Homestead Law and Franklin’s available land, families such as the Van Orden’s claimed up to 160 acres of land in Lewiston,

Earlier research revealed that in 1905 German ethnicity was 26 percent of the national population. By 1920, census reports of German ethnicities were significantly less. Historian La Vern J. Rippley, author of the essay Ameliorated Americanization: The Effect of World War I on German-Americans in the 1920’s, argues this drop was due to stigmas and shyness among German-Americans in reporting nation of birth. While, Bonds of Loyalty: German-Americans and World War I author, Frederick C. Luebke agrees with Rippley’s immigrant population percentages he further explains, “Like all immigrant groups, the Germans tended to settle among others of their kind. …in 1910, more than 85 percent resided in the Mid Atlantic states and in the Midwest.” Describing later settlement patterns, during the 1870s and 80s, following kinsfolk to farming communities in the Great Plains and Midwest. And in early post war years altered their German names or adopted more English sounding

About ten miles to the south in Cabarrus County (then part of Mecklenburg County until 1792), was another German settlement, established in the early 1740s. It lay about two miles north of the Town of Mount Pleasant on Dutch Buffalo Creek (now called Big Buffalo Creek). Like their kinsmen in Rowan County, the settlers were Lutheran and German Reformed, and they built a log meeting house and schoolhouse in order to provide for instruction of their children in the fundamentals of the Bible and Christian faith, and a basic education in reading, writing and arithmetic. The two groups used the “Dutch Buffalo Meeting House” for about thirty years and then separated. The Lutherans relocated near where St. John’s Lutheran Church now stands in Concord,

The French and Russians did sell arms to Ethiopia. This seems unreal since Africans were resisting the Europeans’ efforts to colonize their land. Africa had been using whatever means they could and whatever force they could to surprise and fight the Europeans. All of Africa’s attempts had failed against the Europeans, with the exception of Ethiopia. The French and Russians would sell arms to Ethiopia so they had the protection to resist Italy's attempts of invading their country. They sold arms because they didn't want Europeans colonizing the area. So they sold arms to strengthen their forces. Because of this, Ethiopia was the only African nation that successfully resisted the Europeans. Its victory was due to Menelik II. He

Wesley’s sermons are characterized with the call to exercise personal faith in Jesus as a means to salvation (Hutchison & Wolffe 25). Although a bit detached from the time of Edwards and Wesley, Finney, a famous and yet controversial preacher, also exhibits the same emphasis on conversion and evangelism when he exhorts the preachers to preach in order to “convert his congregation,” (Finney Lecter 12, 203). It is

Evangelist set their aim to reach the souls of many different southern people. The majority was churchgoers with the belief in the divinity of Jesus, the Bible, and the promise of life after death. The “worldings” did not worship regularly and often indulged

Laura, Mary, Carrie, Ma, and Pa continued on their journey, determined to find the perfect homestead. The family finally reached Walnut Grove, a small town in Western Minnesota. Pa then bought 172 acres of land from a Norwegian settler who was planning to travel. The prairie land stretched among Plum Creek and wasn’t too far from town. The Ingall’s family lived in a small dugout house, dug from right out of the bank of Plum Creek!

The dispersal of different ethnicities and the conflict that ensued because of the colonization of different countries, by Europeans, changed the culture and boundaries, set previously, by many overthrown nations. Africa was one of the biggest targets for European colonization and colonialism. The spread of the ideals that sprouted out of the 1884 Berlin Conference and the Scramble for Africa later spread to African American and Cuban culture. The ideals that were brought forth during this time broke apart the heart of Africa and many other countries, and by doing so also developed the concept of and ideals for White supremacy.
