  • GERMAN IMMIGRANTS, AFRICAN AMERICANS, and the RECONSTRUCTION of CITIZENSHIP, 1865-1877 DISSERTATION Presented In
    NEW CITIZENS: GERMAN IMMIGRANTS, AFRICAN AMERICANS, AND THE RECONSTRUCTION OF CITIZENSHIP, 1865-1877 DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Alison Clark Efford, M.A. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2008 Doctoral Examination Committee: Professor John L. Brooke, Adviser Approved by Professor Mitchell Snay ____________________________ Adviser Professor Michael L. Benedict Department of History Graduate Program Professor Kevin Boyle ABSTRACT This work explores how German immigrants influenced the reshaping of American citizenship following the Civil War and emancipation. It takes a new approach to old questions: How did African American men achieve citizenship rights under the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments? Why were those rights only inconsistently protected for over a century? German Americans had a distinctive effect on the outcome of Reconstruction because they contributed a significant number of votes to the ruling Republican Party, they remained sensitive to European events, and most of all, they were acutely conscious of their own status as new American citizens. Drawing on the rich yet largely untapped supply of German-language periodicals and correspondence in Missouri, Ohio, and Washington, D.C., I recover the debate over citizenship within the German-American public sphere and evaluate its national ramifications. Partisan, religious, and class differences colored how immigrants approached African American rights. Yet for all the divisions among German Americans, their collective response to the Revolutions of 1848 and the Franco-Prussian War and German unification in 1870 and 1871 left its mark on the opportunities and disappointments of Reconstruction.

  • “The Wisest Radical of All”: Reelection (September-November, 1864)
    Chapter Thirty-four “The Wisest Radical of All”: Reelection (September-November, 1864) The political tide began turning on August 29 when the Democratic national convention met in Chicago, where Peace Democrats were unwilling to remain in the background. Lincoln had accurately predicted that the delegates “must nominate a Peace Democrat on a war platform, or a War Democrat on a peace platform; and I personally can’t say that I care much which they do.”1 The convention took the latter course, nominating George McClellan for president and adopting a platform which declared the war “four years of failure” and demanded that “immediate efforts be made for a cessation of hostilities, with a view to an ultimate convention of the states, or other peaceable means, to the end that, at the earliest practicable moment, peace may be restored on the basis of the Federal Union of the States.” This “peace plank,” the handiwork of Clement L. Vallandigham, implicitly rejected Lincoln’s Niagara Manifesto; the Democrats would require only union as a condition for peace, whereas the Republicans insisted on union and emancipation. The platform also called for the restoration of “the rights of the States 1 Noah Brooks, Washington, D.C., in Lincoln’s Time, ed. Herbert Mitgang (1895; Chicago: Quadrangle Books, 1971), 164. 3726 Michael Burlingame – Abraham Lincoln: A Life – Vol. 2, Chapter 34 unimpaired,” which implied the preservation of slavery.2 As McClellan’s running mate, the delegates chose Ohio Congressman George Pendleton, a thoroughgoing opponent of the war who had voted against supplies for the army. As the nation waited day after day to see how McClellan would react, Lincoln wittily opined that Little Mac “must be intrenching.” More seriously, he added that the general “doesn’t know yet whether he will accept or decline.

Head of Department of Social Studies Township High School and Junior College Belleville, Illinois rv ' /v ^ DEDICATION This work is affectionately dedicated to the Pioneers and Progressive Citizens of Our City of Belleville, Illinois. ^ o^ VI PREFACE This volume is largely the result of an inspiration for writing acquired as co-author of two magazine articles, one in our state professional magazine, "Illinois Education," May, 1937, and the other in a national professional magazine, "Social Studies," February, 1939. I have discovered that there is an appalling lack of information about local communities among the citizens as a whole. I believe community interest should always be encouraged. Surely we need not be reminded that the very foundation of democratic government is to be found in the communities and in the ability of the citizens to deal success- fully with their local problems. To understand these problems is a complicated matter so we must plan intelligently. This I believe impossible without a knowledge of our past. Our history is so much alive and growing that I find it hard to see how anyone can think of it as dead and dry. History always looks forward, not backward; it is dynamic, not static. Out of the world of yesterday, the world of today has grown; out of the world of today, will come the world of tomorrow. It is impossible to understand fully the present without a knowledge of the conditions which have brought it about; and it is equally impossible to make intelligent decisions for the future as we have only an uncomprehending view of the age in which we live.

  • 43Rd Illinois History
    43rd Illinois Volunteer Infantry Regiment “Koerner Regiment” The 43rd Illinois was recruited throughout the state, to include Chicago, Peoria, Quincy, Rock Island, Galesburg, Springfield and elsewhere from principally Immigrant & First Generation German-American’s, the largest core group of the Regiment came from St. Clair County. All three of it’s Commanders came from this region (Raith, Engelmann & Dengler). ! Recruiting Poster for the “Unattached German Regiment for Illinois” The idea of the Regiment was that of Gustav Koerner, and he sent a letter, on 24 July, 1861 to Senator Trumbull and President Lincoln, asking for permission to form an “All German Regiment”. However the red tape of Washington DC, prevented a quick answer and many of the dissatisfied soldiers who left the 9th Illinois (after their three month enlistment), joined the 12th Missouri, under Peter J. Osterhaus. Koerner seeing many a good soldier join Missouri Regiment, appealed to Governor Yates who immediately accepted his idea as part of the second call of troops. Once permission was granted, Mexican War veterans Captain Julius Raith and Lieutenant Adolph Engelmann (who was the brother in law of Koerner) were some of the first to enlist, and became very instrumental in recruiting area Germans into war service. Koerner was successful in getting seven companies of men to Springfield by September 1st, 1861. Colonel Julius Raith was the regiment’s first Commanding Officer, as appointed by Governor Yates, but the unit would name itself the “Koerner Regiment“. Julius Raith was born on 29 March 1820; in Goppingen, Wurtemberg. At an early age he showed great abilities as an engineer and his father gave him a fitting education.

Pelican Publishing, $26.95 ISBN 9781455618835 German Americans, Abraham Lincoln, and the Republican Party As a retired marketing executive, Donald Allendorf must appreciate the power of an ambitious title. Your Friend, As Ever, A. Lincoln: How the Unlikely Friendship of Gustav Koerner and Abraham Lincoln Changed America promises intimate revelations and a reinterpretation of United States history. Readers should be skeptical. Yet the relationship between Koerner and Lincoln does merit serious consideration. Koerner, a significant Illinois politician and prominent German American, helped Lincoln win the Republican nomination for the presidency in 1860. As Allendorf narrates, Koerner and Lincoln were both born in 1809, but they were raised under quite different circumstances. While Lincoln was struggling in frontier Kentucky and Indiana, Koerner’s family was running a successful publishing and bookselling operation in Frankfurt am Main. German nationalism and democratic politics were mainstays in the Koerner household, so it was no surprise that Gustav participated in radical student organizations when he went off to university.

The Arms Scandal 4 of 1870-1872 Immigrant Liberal Republicans and America's Place in the World Alison Clark Efford n February 20, 1872, future president James A. Garfield wrote in his diary that Senator Carl Schurz had just made "the most brilliant senato­ 0 rial speech of his life."1 That was no small compliment, given Schurz's renown as an orator. He had begun public speaking in 1848, rousing restive Ger­ mans as a student revolutionary. When the uprisings failed the following year, he moved to the United States, where he quickly learned English and went on to much greater acclaim. Abraham Lincoln praised his work on the stump in 1860, rewarding him first with a position as United States minister to Spain and later with a commission as a brigadier general in the Union army.2 After the Civil War, Schurz turned his rhetorical talents to the cause of black suffrage. It was as a Radical Republican as well as a leader of German Americans that Schurz was selected to represent Missouri in the Senate in 1869.
