Description:
Historians have long argued that the Great War eradicated German culture from American soil. Degrees of Allegiance examines the experiences of German-Americans living in Missouri during the First World War, evaluating the personal relationships at the local level that shaped their lives and the way that they were affected by national war effort guidelines. Spared from widespread hate crimes, German-Americans in Missouri did not have the same bleak experiences as other German-Americans in the Midwest or across America. But they were still subject to regular charges of disloyalty, sometimes because of conflicts within the German-American community itself.
Degrees of Allegiance updates traditional thinking about the German-American experience during the Great War, taking into account not just the war years but also the history of German settlement and the war’s impact on German-American culture.
About the author:
Petra DeWitt teaches at Missouri University of Science and Technology, Rolla, Missouri. She is the author of a number of articles about the German-American community in Missouri.
I should like to thank you all for these suggestions, but it would appear that this morning’s activity for doing nothing but waiting out this headache was to write more Mycroft in A Study in Cerulean, so I guess my celebration of post 4,000 will be this link:
Mycroft Holmes Is The British Government (reboot) (A Study in Cerulean, Chapter 4)I hope you like it!

No, love. *Just* finished laundry. (Well, that was a while ago now, but you get my meaning.) Geek-hood has been a lifelong quality.

“You scored 76 Heterosexuality, 23 Homosexuality, and 29 Asexuality.”

I think there are some forced choices here…but it was amusing in some ways.
