| Abstract | The three papers presented for this forum address the "most elusive of issues. . . : personal attitudes of German immigrants toward the question of slavery and the social and political rights of African American in the Civil War and Reconstruction Era." The papers utilize German-language sources to uncover missing aspects of American history, and they "recognize that Immigrant groups can be subjects as well as objects of discrimination and that immigrant acculturation involves interactions not just with the 'dominant society,' but with other ethnic and racial minorities as well." |
