| Abstract | There is a rich tradition of German-American history embodied by socialist immigrants whose political, economic and cultural goals found strong resonance among German immigrant workers. From forty-eighters like Friedrich Sorge, Joseph Weydemeyer, and Adolf Douai, to political emigres fleeing the repression of Bismarck's Sozialistengesetze, to immigrants radicalized by their disillusionment with America, German socialists constituted by far the most siginficant group of ethnic radicals in the nineteenth-century U.S. Labor historians have recognized the crucial political role German immigrants played in introducing the theory of scientific socialism to the U.S. and helping to organize the American labor movement after the Civil War. Douai, Adolf, 1819-1888 |
