Book Synopsis The German Forty-Eighters in the United States by : Charlotte Lang Brancaforte
Download or read book The German Forty-Eighters in the United States written by Charlotte Lang Brancaforte. This book was released on 1989. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Between 1845 and 1854 over one million German citizens left their homes and emigrated, many of them as a result of the unsuccessful revolution of 1848 and its aftermath. The Forty-Eighters who came to the United States, both for political and economic reasons, went through different stages of adaptation to the new country. The immigrants contributed to the political, social and cultural life of their new homeland by transforming staid communities on the East coast, by founding new settlements in the Midwest and West, and by swelling the number of politically conscious artisans and workers in the big cities. Their voting power and personal sacrifices were of great importance in the abolition of slavery in the U.S. They participated in the debate about the women's vote and in stressing the concepts of free and general education. The contributors to this volume of essays illustrate a new direction in German-American studies. By bringing together the expertise of many disciplines they show that this powerful group among 19th century immigrants helped shape U.S. communities in ways which can still be felt today.

Book Synopsis The German-speaking Forty-eighters by : Charles J. Wallman
Download or read book The German-speaking Forty-eighters written by Charles J. Wallman. This book was released on 1990. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Back in print again, this is the story of the "Forty-Eighters," political refugees who fled German-speaking countries in the aftermath of the failed revolutions of 1848. Among their numbers were Carl Schurz, later to become a U.S. senator and advisor to presidents Lincoln and Hayes, and his wife Margarethe Schurz, who founded the kindergarten movement in the United States. Many Forty-Eighters settled in and enormously influenced the growth of Watertown, Wisconsin, which was at one time the second largest city in the state. By consulting source materials in English and German, Charles Wallman has skillfully unraveled the threads that tie the Forty-Eighters and their descendents to the history of Watertown. He chronicles not only the Forty-Eighters who subsequently became prominent in the German-American community of the United States but also those who never moved again and helped make their new hometown a thriving site of cultural and intellectual activity in the nineteenth century.
