    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.

  • Leadership in Social Movements: Evidence from the “Forty-Eighters”
    American Economic Review 2021, 111(2): 1–35 https://doi.org/10.1257/aer.20191137 Leadership in Social Movements: Evidence from the “Forty-Eighters” in the Civil War† By Christian Dippel and Stephan Heblich* This paper studies the role of leaders in the social movement against slavery that culminated in the US Civil War. Our analysis is orga- nized around a natural experiment: leaders of the failed German rev- olution of 1848–1849 were expelled to the United States and became antislavery campaigners who helped mobilize Union Army volun- teers. Towns where Forty-Eighters settled show two-thirds higher Union Army enlistments. Their influence worked through local newspapers and social clubs. Going beyond enlistment decisions, Forty-Eighters reduced their companies’ desertion rate during the war. In the long run, Forty-Eighter towns were more likely to form a local chapter of the NAACP. JEL D74, J15, J45, J61, N31, N41 ( ) Between 1861 and 1865, the United States’ North and South fought each other over the issue of slavery in the American Civil War. One in five adult men, 2.2 mil- lion in the North alone, took up arms to fight in the Union Army. Fighting was costly on both sides. In total, 620,000 men lost their lives, as many as in all other American wars combined Hacker 2011, Costa and Kahn 2003 . At the same time, the finan- ( ) cial incentives to fight in the war were low. Union Army privates earned about $13 per month, less than a farmhand Edmunds 1866 , and payment was irregular. In the ( ) South, there were stronger economic motives at least for some, since the war was about the survival of Southern institutions and property Hall, Huff, and Kuriwaki ( 2019 .

  • Identity, Community, and Place in German-American Narratives from 1750S-1850S
    Transnational Transports: Identity, Community, and Place in German-American Narratives from 1750s-1850s DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Rebekah Ann Starnes, M.A. Graduate Program in English The Ohio State University 2012 Dissertation Committee: Professor Jared Gardner, Advisor Professor Susan Williams Professor Chadwick Allen Copyright by Rebekah Ann Starnes 2012 Abstract German-Americans were the most populous and influential non-British immigrant group in the British colonies and in the early nation. In order to fully understand early American history, culture, and literature, it is crucial to explore the literature produced by this group. Nonetheless, the sheer number of literary works produced by Germans in America makes such a task as difficult as it is important. This project participates in the recovery of German-American literature by focusing on German-language stories written in and about American contact zones. I begin in eighteenth-century Pennsylvania and follow new waves of immigrants south and west in the nineteenth century. I argue that German-American writers used transnational genres (the captivity narrative, the frontier romance, and the urban mystery novel) to articulate the transports and traumas of their transnational experiences. In Chapters 1 and 2, I look at German-language captivity narratives of the French and Indian War. I argue that writing captivity narratives allowed German settlers to negotiate their culturally liminal place in Pennsylvania as a racially privileged but culturally marginalized group, to come to terms with the transnational traumas of captivity and religious persecution, and to define and police constantly shifting communal boundaries.

    GERMAN SETTLEMENT IN MISSOURI Carolyn L. Wright Whitton, M.A., CG® [email protected] I. German Emigration to the U.S. and Missouri 1608-1820 A. From 1608 through the Revolutionary War roughly 350,000 Germans, mostly in groups, immigrated to the U.S., arriving at Philadelphia and other ports. B. In reaction, in 1768 the Holy Roman Empire of German States (HRE) prohibited emigration and instituted penalties for leaving. C. 1770-1820 Americans pushing westward towards Missouri, included German-Americans: 1. The first in Missouri is said to be John Hildebrand in 1770 from Pennsylvania to Jefferson County, Missouri. (Houck) 2. German-Americans were motivated by farm land rather than hunting and furs. 3. Missouri settlers, from the 1790s-1820s, in counties such as Jefferson, St. Louis, St. Charles, Warren, and Franklin (county map) included many German surnames, but were mainly second/third generation descendants from eastern States. 4. In the area of St. Charles, Warren, Franklin, arrivals totaled 80 families or over 400 people; roughly 10% of all early American arrivals according to Claggett. 5. In 1800, the first distinctly German settlement in Missouri included 20 German-Swiss families from Lincoln County, North Carolina migrating to Whitewater Creek in Cape Girardeau and Bollinger Counties. (Goodspeed) D. American migrants arrived mainly overland or by rivers, lakes, and canals, until the 1840s and 1850s when railroads became more widespread. 1. Main routes: Ohio and Mississippi Rivers. 2. Also important: St. Lawrence Seaway and the Great Lakes, 3. And other rivers, such as: Illinois, Wabash, Kentucky, Tennessee, Cumberland. E. Research for early German migrants is the same as for Colonial America: 1.
