The German Immigrants in America

The Midwest fills up with these crowds who get the land and then they get to be beneficiaries of the American project. They become the backbone of the post war Republican Party post civil war Republican Party. The Irish are fleeing literally death or being enslaved on a road gang or being stealing Trevellian's corn and being transported to Australia. But again that's the ones who are in the cities, the people who have the Germans who filled in the land. That means the Americans who come or the Germans who come during this period, they could set themselves up in America. The Irish got nothing.
