Identify and describe the challenges faced by German immigrants in Texas

History

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!

ANSWER!

Enlightenment philosophy and Great Awakening Christianity were very different, but both influenced the American colonies and American Revolution and both frame our thinking today.  The Enlightenment — so named by its own practitioners, who didn’t lack self-esteem — is best thought of as a continuation of the Renaissance we read about in Chapter 2, with a strong emphasis on the Scientific Revolution, reason, and progress.  Its practitioners adhered to the scientific method of testing hypotheses through rigorous, repeatable experimentation.  Ancient Greeks, inventors of the first organized sporting events (the Olympics), also promoted hard-nosed, constructive debate and organized competition in law, politics, philosophy, and science.
