American Loyalty (1917)

By Citizens of German Descent

Book Overview

American Loyalty is a book written in 1917 by a group of citizens of German descent living in the United States. The book aims to demonstrate their loyalty to the country and dispel any suspicions that they may have been sympathetic to Germany during World War I. The authors argue that their loyalty to America is not in conflict with their German heritage and that they fully support the war effort. The book includes essays, speeches, and personal stories from German-Americans who have served in the military, as well as contributions from prominent figures such as President Woodrow Wilson and former President Theodore Roosevelt. The authors also address common stereotypes and prejudices against German-Americans and emphasize the importance of unity and patriotism during times of war. Overall, American Loyalty serves as a defense of German-American loyalty to the United States and a call for national unity during a time of conflict.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
