  • Minnesota's Scandinavian Political Legacy
    Minnesota’s Scandinavian Political Legacy by Klas Bergman In 1892, Minnesota politics changed, for good. In that break-through year, Norwegian-born, Knute Nelson was elected governor of Minnesota, launching a new era with immigrants and their descendants from the five Nordic countries in leadership positions, forming a new political elite that has reshaped the state’s politics. The political story of the Scandinavian immigrants in Minnesota is unique. No other state can show a similar political involvement, although there are examples of Scandinavian political leaders in other states. “Outside of the Nordic countries, no other part of the world has been so influenced by Scandinavian activities and ambitions as Minnesota,” Uppsala University professor Sten Carlsson once wrote.1 Their imprint has made Minnesota the most Scandinavian of all the states, including in politics. These Scandinavian, or Nordic, immigrants from Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden created a remarkable Scandinavian political legacy that has shaped Minnesota politics in a profound way and made it different from other states, while also influencing American politics beyond Minnesota. Since 1892, the Scandinavians and their descendants have been at the forefront of every phase of Minnesota’s political history. All but five of Minnesota’s twenty-six governors during the following 100 years have been Scandinavians—mostly Swedes and Norwegians, but also a Finland-Swede and a Dane, representing all political parties, although most of them— twelve—were Republicans. Two of them were talked about as possible candidates for the highest office in the land, but died young—John Governor Knute Nelson. Vesterheim Archives.

  • A Study of Three Norwegian American Newspapers in Northwestern Minnesota: Ethnic Identity and the Motivations Behind Political Debate 1890 – 1894
    A Study of Three Norwegian American Newspapers in Northwestern Minnesota: Ethnic Identity and the Motivations behind Political Debate 1890 – 1894 By Peter Johan Altena Grepperud A Thesis Presented to The Department of Literature, Area Studies, and European Languages North American Area Studies Faculty of Humanities ENG 4791 Supervisor: David Mauk UNIVERSITY OF OSLO FALL 2011 II A Study of Three Norwegian American Newspapers in Northwestern Minnesota: Ethnic Identity and the Motivations behind Political Debate 1890 – 1894 By Peter Johan Altena Grepperud III © Peter Grepperud 2011 A Study of Three Norwegian American Newspapers in Northwestern Minnesota: Ethnic Identity and the Motivations behind Political Debate 1890 – 1894 Peter Grepperud http://www.duo.uio.no/ Trykk: Reprosentralen, Universitetet i Oslo IV Abstract This thesis focuses on the political experience of Norwegian Americans in northwestern Minnesota between 1890 and 1894. More specifically, it explores the relative importance of ethnic identity in the public political debate in three politically divergent Norwegian-language newspapers. This study argues that specific cultural, economic, political and social developments in northwestern Minnesota can explain the development and public expression of a hybrid ethnic identity specific to that region. A variety of perceptions of this identity distinctively characterized the political discourse in the press at the time. Many Norwegian Americans, conditioned by experiences both in Norway and America, exploited politically what they recognized as usable parts of their common ethnic heritage to express their political dissatisfaction and expectations, to enhance feelings of ethnic unity, to rally political support, and to besmirch enemies. This thesis demonstrate that perceptions of ethnic identity, although not the most central topic of political debate, played a significant role in the public political discourse in northwestern Minnesota between 1890 and 1894.
