German Immigration to the United States and Their Contribution to This Country

During the late 1800s and early 1900s immigration to a new better world, the United States Of America was in full swing. With all the immigration from so many different countries brought much diversity to America but it also brought a new type of crime, Organized Crime. This was due to a part that the Italian Sicilian Mafia was under attack from Mussolini regime but also the creation of the 18th amendment banning the sales, manufacturing, or transportation of any alcoholic beverage.

Many germans migrated to the United States. Germans started to migrate in the 1870-1800 ish Migrate means to move from one area or country to settle in another, especially in search of work. In 1870 large groups started to move to Kansas.

Culture is part of special traditions and rites of passage. In this paper I am going to write about American culture compared to German culture. To do this I interviewed Michael Heidenreich, who was born in Berlin, Germany in 1943.

To this day, Germans are the single largest group of immigrants to the United States, and over a quarter of Americans claim German ancestry. Over seven million German immigrants have been recorded since 1820, when official immigration records began to be kept. Germans immigrated to America primarily for economic reasons, but some Germans also left their homelands in search of religious or political freedom. They were also encouraged by their friends and family who had already found a new life in the United States. Immigrants faced a long and arduous journey before they finally reached American soil. Once they arrived in America, they typically settled in their own communities and entered the work force as skilled workers, bought

I would say that the Jews and African Americans are good examples for this type of propaganda. The reason why I pick these two groups is because African Americans and the Jews had the same thing in common in history as the Japanese Americans did during the mid 1900’s. African Americans had to be slaves during the 1800’s, for they didn’t get there “freedom” till the late 1800’s. The Jewish people were also in the same position as the Japanese Americans; however, the Jews had much worse than what the Japanese Americans had been through because they were being killed and their population had decreases massively. Therefore, both of the groups would react that no matter what ethnicity they are from, or what ancestor they came from, they wouldn’t agree with the foe even if they came from that

The WASPs also respected the Germans because the Germans were Protestant. The Germans also proved that they were extremely hardworking. They created many businesses, some of which still exist today. The Germans also brought over foods such as hot dogs, apple pie, and pretzels. Furthermore, the Germans came in quite small numbers, which the WASPs definitely appreciated. The Germans did not have to assimilate and live on their own, without the WASPs having to take care of them. Finally, the Germans were relatively welcomed when they arrived to America. The only stereotype given to them was a positive one, claiming that they were the model immigrants that every other immigrant group should aspire to be like. All in all, the six million Germans who came to the United States during the first wave were well liked by the WASPs and had a successful and smooth immigration into America.

Immigration has existed around the world for centuries, decades, and included hundreds of cultures. Tired of poverty, a lack of opportunities, unequal treatment, political corruption, and lacking any choice, many decided to emigrate from their country of birth to seek new opportunities and a new and better life in another country, to settle a future for their families, to work hard and earn a place in life. As the nation of the opportunities, land of the dreams, and because of its foundation of a better, more equal world for all, the United States of America has been a point of hope for many of those people. A lot of nationals around the world have ended their research for a place to call home in the United States of America. By analyzing

Many of the Germans preferred to stick together in their own secluded ‘colonies’ as well, such as in the isolated areas of Pennsylvania or in Milwaukee. So,the Germans were out of sight, and therefore out of mind of the American

German immigrants tended to settle in Pennsylvania, where they made up a third of the population until the Revolutionary War. At least 500,000 Germans came to the United States during the first half of the nineteenth century including about 60,000 after a failed revolution in 1848.

Germans, like the Irish, immigrated to the US due to hardships such as political revolutions

In the 1850’s there was a mass immigration to America from Germany (CN). At that time Germany was beginning to industrialize (CN), causing a uptick in unemployment among farmers. Most germans came to America looking for economic opportunity, landing in New York (Barkin). The journey to America wasn’t easy, most Germans were too poor for first or second class tickets, so during their journey they lived in

The German immigrants made up most of the immigrants between 1820 and 1860. Most of the Germans traveled to America for economic

     America, and what they faced after they landed on our shores. We will begin with the German immigrants who arrived after 1800. After 1800, Germans still poured into the United States, but for different reasons than previous generations. Modernization and population growth forced many Germans from their respective family businesses. In the United States, most Germans lived in the countryside. Large numbers could be found in the Midwest and Texas. Most of the West Coast farmers would sacrifice fertile land for a closer location to other Germans. They would cluster together to form communities not unlike the Chinatowns.

Over time the Irish and Germans were finally accepted and considered part of the “American society”. By the time the next big wave of immigration occurred, the Irish and Germans were considered the old guard as opposed to the newcomers. The changing ethnic composition was critical and the Irish as well as the

Based on Hofstede’s cultural index is appreciated that the similarities between British and German culture is high.
