AbstractBriefly describes the conflict that arose from King Frederick William III of Prussia's 1817 Proclamation of Union of the Calvinist Reformed and Lutheran churches. A group of Lutherans opposed to this were invited to emigrate to Buffalo, New York in 1835. Forty families continued farther inland and settled north of Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
