| Abstract | In 1918, President Wilson signed an order requiring all "enemy aliens" to register with the government. The order applied to anyone who had been born in Germany or one of its allied countries and was not yet naturalized. With over ten percent of the German-born population in the United States, Wisconsin was disproportionately impacted by the measure. Otto and Ida Grady, the author's great-grandparents, were among those forced to register. They had arrived in Wisconsin as children fifty years earlier. |
