Many Germans left to USA and had no love for the Kaiser and serving in the military. My husband’s German family and helping my son do his ancestry project taught me a lot about this.

Perfect example for the snowflakes. If they don't like our President-Elect, they can move to another country!

Germans forced my Polish ancestors to flee to the US, during the Kulturkampf.

My great grandfather, I believe it was, left Hesse for the same reason.

Yea, I know someone who’s grandfather was put on a boat to America, by his parents, to escape the Kaiser as well. I forget how old he was. Maybe 15. I think the money for his passage plus maybe a little extra, was all the family could spare.

He did well here.

My grandfather was spirited out of Spain by his uncle after hostilities between it and the US exploded into the Spanish-American War. He was 9 years old at the time. They arrived in Boston.
