Identify and describe the challenges faced by German immigrants in Texas

History
2 answers:
stepan [7]4 years ago

The first challenges can be traced back to Civil War times, when a majority of German immigrants in Texas took a stand by the Union's cause which was certainly unpopular in the region.

Also, During World War I, Germany became an enemy of the United States which translated into a growing hostility towards immigrants. This situation made it remarkably difficult for them to assimilate American culture while maintaining their roots.

During that period many German-Texan families had to go as far as to change their family name (for example from Schmidts to Smiths). Some institutions even suffered the same fate, like the German Cemetery located in Houston, which became Washington Cemetery.

After the war, tensions continued to grow when Gov. William Hobby vetoed appropriations for the German department at The University of Austin Texas in 1919.

It took until the 1950s and 60s for german-culture celebrations to start reemerging in the area.


Hope this helps!

The first major city in Sumer was _____. Babylon Ur Uruk Baghdad
pashok25 [27]

the correct answer is: "Babylon"

Babylon was an ancient city of Lower Mesopotamia. It gained its independence after the period of the Sumerian Renaissance, although there are mentions to its existence from as early as Sargon of Akkad. After much time witnessing the struggles between the regional states of Isin, Larsay Ešnunna, Babylon gradually became a regional power, first replacing the role they had Akkad or Kiš to later become the capital of a vast empire under the mandate of Hammurabi (XVIII century BC). Since then it has become a great political, religious and cultural center. Even in Hellenistic times, already stripped of its second empire and fallen into disgrace in front of other large cities such as Persepolis, Alexander the Great wanted to make it his capitalh
