Re: What are regional cultural differences in the USA?

[(Anonymous)]

I didn't know that about anti-German violence in the South during the Civil War! Do you have any books / articles to recommend on the subject?

Re: What are regional cultural differences in the USA?

[tabaqui]

I don't, really, I'm sorry. Years and years ago, i read Daniel Woodrell's 'Woe to Live On' and first encountered it, and over time i've read bits and pieces of things that showed that the anti-German sentiment wasn't uncommon. There *were* German fighters on both sides, but the North had nearly 200,000 German soldiers, many new immigrants, and even before the war, there was 'anti-Dutch' sentiment across the entire country, due to religion (and no religion) and cultural differences.

The author well remembers the speech of Judge William Price. He told him that the lopeared Dutch had reached Rolla, Missouri, the terminus of the railroad, and that they were complete heathens; that Abraham Lincoln had given the state of Missouri to them, if they would send enough lopeared Dutch to conquer the state, and that to his knoweldge they had gone out into the country and taken men's wives and daughters and brought them into the camps, and that he saw them, in the presence of the mothers, run bayonets through their infant children and hoist them up and carry them around on their bayonets...
