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. -

La Recepción Temprana De Wagner En Estados Unidos: Wagner En La Kleindeutschland De Nueva York, 1854-1874
Resonancias vol. 19, n°35, junio-noviembre 2014, pp. 11-24 La recepción temprana de Wagner en Estados Unidos: Wagner en la Kleindeutschland de Nueva York, 1854-1874 F. Javier Albo Georgia State University, Atlanta, USA. [email protected] Resumen Este trabajo se centra en la recepción de la música de Richard Wagner, limitado a un marco geográfico específico, el de la ciudad de Nueva York –en concreto el distrito alemán de la ciudad, conocido como Kleindeutschland– y temporal, el comprendido entre la primera ejecución documentada de una obra de Wagner en la ciudad, en 1854, y la definitiva entronización del compositor como legítimo representante de la tradición musical alemana a partir del estreno de Lohengrin en la Academy of Music, en 1874. Se destaca la labor de promoción a cargo de los emigrantes alemanes, en su papel de mediadores, en los años 50 y 60 del siglo XIX, una labor fundamental ya que gracias a ella germinó la semilla del culto a Wagner que eclosionaría durante la Gilded Age, la “Edad dorada” del desarrollo económico y artístico finisecular, que afectó a todo el país pero de manera especial a Nueva York. Asimismo, se incluye una aproximación a la recepción en la crítica periodística neoyorquina durante el periodo en cuestión. Palabras clave: Wagner; Recepción temprana en Nueva York; Músicos alemanes y emigración, 1850-1875; Crítica periodística. Abstract This study discusses the early reception of Richard Wagner’s music in New York, starting with the first documented performance of a work by Wagner in the city, in 1854, and the momentous production of Lohengrin at the Academy of Music, in 1874. -
The War Against Germans Kearn Schemm
The War against German Culture My topic today is “the war against German culture.” It is a topic that probably impacts many of you, given the fact that Missouri was settled to a large extent by Germans, in fact, according to Prof. Don Heinrich Tolzmann, Missouri is almost 40% German today. Can I have a show of hands as to how many of you in the audience are of German ancestry? The topic impacts me, since I am a third generation American of half Germanic ancestry. I was born in Newark, New Jersey, in a hospital founded as the “Newark German Hospital” and now known as “Clara Maass Hospital” after its most famous nurse, who gave her life trying to help Walter Reed find a cure for yellow fever. The reason that the hospital is no longer named “Newark German” is the war against German language and culture, which continues to this very day. Things Germans were not always negatively stereotyped. Let me ask you a few questions, the answers might amaze you: 1) When was the first anti-slavery protest drafted, and what language was it in? (German, 1688 By Franz Daniel Pastorius in Germantown, Pa) 2) Who founded the first public library in New York? (A German refugee turned newspaper publisher named Oswald Ottendorfer and founded the Ottendorfer Library in 1884.) 3) Who founded the first legal aid society in the US? (Germans: Deutscher Rechts-Schutz Verein (German Legal Aid Society), was incorporated in New York City in 1876) Now, the term German today has many implications to many people. -

Landmark Site: Borough of Manhattan Tax Mep Block 464, Lot 37 in part consisting of the land on which the described building is situated. On March 23, 1976, the landmarks Preserv3tion Commission held a public hearing on the proposed designation as a Landmerk of the Stuyvesant Polyclinic Hospit~l and the proposed designation of the related Landmark Site (Item No. 1). The hearing was continued to May II, 1976 (Item No. 1). Both hearings had been duly advertised in ac~ordance with the provisions of law. ·A total of six witnesses at both hearings; including the representative of the Cabrini Health Care Center, spoke in favor of designation.

THE CENTURY BUILDING, 33 East 17Th Street and 38-46 East 18Th Street, Borough of Manhattan
Landmarks Preservation Commission October 7, 1986; Designation List 186 LP-1539 THE CENTURY BUILDING, 33 East 17th Street and 38-46 East 18th Street, Borough of Manhattan. Built 1880-1881; architect William Schickel. Landmark Site: Borough of Manhattan Tax Map Block 846, Lot 30. On May 14, 1985, the Landmarks Preservation Corrmission held a public hearing on the proposed designation as a Landmark of The Century Building, and the proposed designation of the related Landmark Site (Item No. 5). The hearing had been duly advertised in accordance with the provisions of law. Thirty witnesses spoke in favor of designation. Two witnesses spoke in opposition to designation. The Commission has received many letters and other expressions of support in favor of this designation. DESCRIPTION AND ANALYSIS The Century Building is a rare surviving Queen Anne style corrmercial building in New York City. Designed by William Schickel and built in 1880- 81, it has been a major presence in Union Square for over a century. Schickel, a German-born architect who practiced in New York, rose to prominence as a leading late-19th century designer of churches and institutional buildings in the United States. He designed the Century Building as a speculative venture for his major clients, the owners of the Arnold Constable department stores. Schickel designed the Century Building in the Queen Anne style, an English import defined by a picturesque use of 17th- and 18th-century motifs. More usually associated in this country with residential architecture, the Queen Anne was also used in commercial buildings, but few of these survive in New York City. -

125 Years of the Boston Pops (Timeline)
symphony hall tel: (617) 266-1492 301 massachusetts avenue fax: (617) 638-9493 boston, ma 02115-4511 www.bso.org Boston Pops Timeline The Origins of the Pops: 1881 – 1899 • 1881 - Civil War veteran Henry Lee Higginson founds the Boston Symphony Orchestra and writes of his intention to present “especially in the summer, concerts of a lighter kind of music,” and the seed is planted for Boston Pops concerts, originally called “Promenade Concerts.” The introduction of these concerts also provided year-round employment for the Boston Symphony musicians. • 1885 - The first Promenade Concert, led by Adolf Neuendorff, takes place on July 11 at the old Boston Music Hall, the only locale in the city allowing food and beverages to be served in the performance space. Response from audience and critics is favorable. • 1890 - By this time, the public customarily refers to these “popular” concerts in the shorthand “Pop” or “Pops.” • 1896 - The tradition of annual “college nights” at the Pops begins when Harvard hosts Harvard Night at the Pops. Harvard was followed by MIT in 1897, Tufts in 1901, and a host of others. • 1897 - A new march by John Philip Sousa, The Stars and Stripes Forever, is played in its orchestral version for the first time. Works by other American composers are played more frequently at the concerts, contributing to their increasing “American-ness.” The Move to Symphony Hall: 1900– 1929 • 1900 - The BSO management officially changes the name of the concerts to the “Pops,” andThe Stars and Stripes Forever regularly serves as the grand finale. • Symphony Hall, the new home of the Boston Symphony and Boston Pops, opens in October.
