| Abstract | . . . [F]aced with an issue [slavery] that divided the American nation into two bitterly hostile factions, the Germans in America are said to have overcome all other considerations and suddenly to have found themselves solidly united. Where they really? Examines the attitudes of German Americans in various states to abolition, secession, the Republican Party, and the Presidential election of 1860. |
