Regardless of these differences, they are part of a melting-pot that makes up this country. Both ethnic groups had to overcome life changing struggles and contributed to this country in numerous ways. German Americans are one of the largest ethnic groups in this country, living all over the United States (Jerreat, 2013). The first Germans arrived in the

For example, during colonization of the United States Native Americans were stereotyped to be savages. During World War 1, many schools banned the teaching of the German language.
