Degrees of Allegiance: Harassment and Loyalty in Missouri's German-American Community during World War I - Ohio University Press & Swallow Press → ohioswallow.com

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.

Oops, good ideas, but I accidentally more A Study in Cerulean

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!

…but how?

What do you, all 304 of you who follow me, want from me?

What can I do to celebrate this pathetic milestone in my blogging?

I see no problems with this.

Neither do I. I just thought it was an amusing encapsulation. =]

*Just* realized you’re a total geek? Not paying much attention, are we? ;)

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

I found a really really great sexuality test. Post your results. For shits and giggles. → okcupid.com

64% Heterosexual
32% Homosexual
37% Asexual

Well then.

69% Heterosexual (I giggled)
38% Homosexual
18% Asexual 

71% Heterosexual 
21% Homosexual                                   35% Asexual

 69% Heterosexual

11% Homosexual

45% Asexuality

You scored 44 Heterosexuality, 11 Homosexuality, and 78 Asexuality!

And considering I’m heteromantic, I’m okay with that.

69% Heterosexuality

15% Homosexuality 

41% Asexuality

The quiz was entertaining to say the least. - w- 

I didn’t need a test to tell me this:

You scored 89 Heterosexuality, 11 Homosexuality, and 12 Asexuality!  the only surprise was that I as more asexual than homosexual.  I’ve had many opportunities, but I’m a woman who really likes men.

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

Wow.  Ok then.  Yeah, I really do like men.  This is kind of intereseting.

You scored 71 Heterosexuality, 32 Homosexuality, and 29 Asexuality!

I’ve changed from saying that I am bi to I’m straight with a slight lezzie side. This was interesting, but this makes it sound like I’m in a relationship solely for the physical part. There is DEFINITELY emotion involved. Anywhoooozles I gotta get back to hw >:P

 58 Heterosexuality, 45 Homosexuality, and 18 Asexuality

I suspect because I’ve never managed to date a guy? I guess.

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