| Abstract | Provides an examination of the German-American community in Davenport and seeks to answer the following questions: Why was the Socialist Party such a powerful force in Davenport's local politics? Why did the Scott County Council of National Defense feel the need to prosecute a vigorous campaign against the supposed pro-German elements of the city? How did Davenport's German Americans respond to the intense patriotic demands placed on their ethnic community? |
