Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Melting Pot Soldiers is the story of the way immigrants responded to the drama of the Civil War. When the war began in 1861, there were, in most states in the North (primarily from Western Europe), large populations of immigrants whose leaders were active in American politics at the local, state, and national levels. Just as native-born Americans, both individually and collectively, reacted to war, so did these newcomers. A characteristic feature of the formation of the Union armies was the role played by politicians in the recruitment of the regiment, the basic unit of the army. Ethnic politicians (and a few were women!) like their native-born counterparts, actively recruited young men into regiments- in this case regiments based upon the country of origin of the recruits. There were dozens of such regiments, mostly German and Irish, but also a Scandinavian unit, a polygot outfit, and there was an attempt to form a Scottish regiment. AS the war progressed and casualties mounted, these regiments gradually lost their ethnic composition. Ethnic entreprenuers were the key figures in the organization of these regiments, and such men ordinarily intended to parlay their military service into a post-war political career. Burton examines the impact ethnic entreprenuers had during the war, both by their key role in the organization of their regiments and by their post-war political careers.

Book excerpt: One hundred years past, in the 1920's and `930's, we can assess what has happened to America over time. Two decades that were among the most eventful in the history of America show our progress and our need to continue to learn from the past and improve the future.. The aftermath of a world war, a global economic melt down, and the preparation for yet another war affected individual families as well as the nation. Through it all, democracy was tested. The definition of "people" is a case in point. That definition has expanded through amendments to the Constitution to specifically include black Americans freed from slavery, and women. It was not an easy struggle then, nor is it now. This story follows the path of four generations of a family who first saw America as a haven for immigrants and then contributed to their own growth, and the country's, as citizens and patriots. The family in this story share a German heritage that is slow to be forgotten. Within the family, it is not ethnicity that is most important, it is the need to determine the right individual path through life that each one is searching to find. And every man, woman, and child is different: even in the same family setting. And the folks in this tale have differences of race, gender, ethnicity, vales, income, and talent. It is a melting pot. The Constitution of the United States of America continues to provide a strong foundation for government .despite the different circumstances and scientific/technological advances. The interpretation of our Constitution varies but the bedrock is still the worth of each person. There is no "other" to be discriminated against, we are all equal. It is not the sameness of Americans that make this a great country, it is our acceptance of diversity. Difficult as it is within a family, it is more difficult within national borders. The story continues.
Download or read book Before the Melting Pot written by Joyce D. Goodfriend and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 1994-10-09 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From its earliest days under English rule, New York City had an unusually diverse ethnic makeup, with substantial numbers of Dutch, English, Scottish, Irish, French, German, and Jewish immigrants, as well as a large African-American population. Joyce Goodfriend paints a vivid portrait of this society, exploring the meaning of ethnicity in early America and showing how colonial settlers of varying backgrounds worked out a basis for coexistence. She argues that, contrary to the prevalent notion of rapid Anglicization, ethnicity proved an enduring force in this small urban society well into the eighteenth century.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Europe in the Melting Pot: The Historical Background of the Great War If there are intelligent inhabitants on any planet other than this on which we roll through space, we may imagine them looking down at the earth just now and chuckling as they remark: "Well, they are at it again on the earth. Tribes, races, and nations are again in the melting pot." For, though war seems a serious and terrible thing to us who are in it or close to it, to disinterested observers at a great distance, if there are any, who hove been watching war follow war on this globe for generation after generation, the whole thing may seem to indicate the pettiness rather than the greatness of humanity. For the old differences are being settled in the old way. Even some of the scenes and some of the actors in this drama have familiar names: Charleroi, Waterloo, Louvain; von dcr Goltz, and Pau. Ono is struck with the futility of the whole thing. Must war succeed war with no apparent permanent result save a preparation of conditions out of which the next war may spring? The remark of Sir Edward Hamley, the English historian, concerning the results of the Crimean War, may seem in its despairing cynicism to be applicable to all wars. "Thus," said the historian, "had the great war been rounded off into an episode having no further connection with the future." Is the great war of to-day, In which hundreds of thousands of lives are being lost, and the happiness of hundreds of thousands of families destroyed - is this a mere episode in the history of man ? It is easy to think that it is. It is easy to persuade one's self that the world is growing no better, that men to-day arc the brutes of cave days, with a slightly keener Intelligence that makes them more dangerous to each other. This Is the familiar argument, heard on every street corner, In every club and tavern. The track of history is so long that over the small section of it to which our near-sighted gaze is confined it may seem that man has gained nothing. But to a being with stronger vision - to a Martian with a telescope. If you will - it may be quite plain that man is far ahead of where he was ten thousand or twenty thousand years ago. In our struggle to gain what we call civilization for want of a better word, to supplant barbarism with reason, are we not like a party of explorers pushing through a vast tropical jungle to the sea? Caught in the tangled vegetation, struggling from one thicket only to find another ahead, they may conclude that there is no ocean and stop to die, while a man watching them from a balloon above knows that their goal is just ahead. We, in our march for progress, must keep stout hearts, for we may have come further than we dream. Certainly the burning of a city would not have horrified the world a thousand years ago as the burning of Louvain shocked it the other day. And cynics who gloat over the disregard of nations for the rules of warfare to-day, should remember that it is not long since there was not even a pretension to regulate the game of killing men. As for fixing the responsibility for this war, it is easy and popular to blame one or two men or one or two nations. But that will not do. One or two nations may have planted the germs of trouble, they may have been responsible for the outbreak of the disease In a limited area; but it will not do to blame them for its rapid spread over most of tho civilized world. The fault is in the system-the system that demands that nations shall plunge into a war one after another to keep the sides even, to "maintain the balance of power," as the glib phrase goes.

Download or read book Germans in the Civil War written by Walter D. Kamphoefner and published by Univ of North Carolina Press. This book was released on 2009-09-15 with total page 558 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: German Americans were one of the largest immigrant groups in the Civil War era, and they comprised nearly 10 percent of all Union troops. Yet little attention has been paid to their daily lives--both on the battlefield and on the home front--during the war. This collection of letters, written by German immigrants to friends and family back home, provides a new angle to our understanding of the Civil War experience and challenges some long-held assumptions about the immigrant experience at this time. Originally published in Germany in 2002, this collection contains more than three hundred letters written by seventy-eight German immigrants--men and women, soldiers and civilians, from the North and South. Their missives tell of battles and boredom, privation and profiteering, motives for enlistment and desertion and for avoiding involvement altogether. Although written by people with a variety of backgrounds, these letters describe the conflict from a distinctly German standpoint, the editors argue, casting doubt on the claim that the Civil War was the great melting pot that eradicated ethnic antagonisms.
