Not illustrated. 1922 edition. Excerpt: ... Chapter VIII WHAT OF IT! A lull in immigration.--Russian and Buthenian immigration was practically stopped by the war. On account of the blockade on Russia, and the resulting unsettled conditions, its resumption has been prevented as far as these nations are concerned. This halted immigration is our God-given opportunity to organize our forces to help the vast army of Russians and Ruthenians who, in the years preceding the war, pressed in at such an irresistible pace that the Christian church was overwhelmed. This study has shown our defeat in the past; no one can predict what defeat in the future may mean. The future of the foreign language churches.-- Without incoming immigration, the foreign language churches will pass away. As the children of the Russian and Ruthenian are brought up in American schools, they forget the language of their fathers. Comparatively few of the second generation attend the foreign language churches and almost none of the third generation. Even one of the priests in the Orthodox church told me that if immigration should be stopped for one generation, his church would either have to be closed or readapt its service into the English. It seems probable that the halt in immigration is only the lull in the storm that predicts a still greater intensity. It would not be unlikely if the poverty and misery in Russia and Galicia should drive thousands more to this country. In the meantime our faces should be set to our present task. The church a force in racial assimilation and national unification.--The Uniat and the Greek Orthodox Churches in the past can hardly claim to have been a force in racial assimilation and national unification. Their services have had to be conducted in the Russian language. Their priests...

A History of American Literature and Culture of the First World War
Author: Tim DaytonPublisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1108593879
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 749
Book Description
In the years of and around the First World War, American poets, fiction writers, and dramatists came to the forefront of the international movement we call Modernism. At the same time a vast amount of non- and anti-Modernist culture was produced, mostly supporting, but also critical of, the US war effort. A History of American Literature and Culture of the First World War explores this fraught cultural moment, teasing out the multiple and intricate relationships between an insurgent Modernism, a still-powerful traditional culture, and a variety of cultural and social forces that interacted with and influenced them. Including genre studies, focused analyses of important wartime movements and groups, and broad historical assessments of the significance of the war as prosecuted by the United States on the world stage, this book presents original essays defining the state of scholarship on the American culture of the First World War.
Writings on American History
Author: New Immigrants and the Radicalization of American Labor, 1914-1924
Author: Thomas MackamanPublisher: McFarland
ISBN: 1476624682
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 219
Book Description
Millions of immigrants from eastern and southern Europe were by 1914 doing the dirtiest, most dangerous jobs in America's mines, mills and factories. The next decade saw major economic and demographic changes and the growing influence of radicalism over immigrant populations. From the bottom rungs of the industrial hierarchy, immigrants pushed forward the greatest wave of strikes in U.S. labor history--lasting from 1916 until 1922--while nurturing new forms of labor radicalism. In response, government and industry, supported by deputized nationalist organizations, launched a campaign of "100 percent Americanism." Together they developed new labor and immigration policies that led to the 1924 National Origins Act, which brought to an end mass European immigration. American industrial society would be forever changed.
The Battle For Homestead, 1880-1892
Author: Paul KrausePublisher: University of Pittsburgh Pre
ISBN: 0822971518
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 577
Book Description
Named one of the fifty best books of 1992 by Publishers Weekly More than a century has passed since the infamous lockout at the Homestead Works of the Carnegie Steel Company. The dramatic and violent events of July 6, 1892, are among the mst familiar in the history of American labor. And yet, few historians have adequately addressed the issues and the culture that shaped that day. For many Americans, Homestead remains simply the story of a bloody clash between management and labor. In The Battle for Homestead, Paul Krause calls upon the methods and insights of labor history, intellectual history, anthropology, and the history of technology to situate the events of the lockout and their significance in the broad context of America’s Guilded Age. Utilizing extensive archival material, much of it heretofore unknown, he reconstructs the social, intellectual, and political climate of the burgeoning post-Civil War steel industry. The Battle for Homestead brings to life many of the individuals -both in and outside Homestead- who played a role in the events leading to July 1892. From the inventor of the modern Bessemer steel mill to the most obscure immigrant workers, from Christopher L. Magee, the “boss” of Pittsburgh machine politics, to Thomas A. Armstrong, the tireless editor of the National Labor Tribune, from the “Laird of Skibo” himself (Andrew Carnegie) to the labor leader and mayor of Homestead, “Old Beeswax” (Thomas W. Taylor), Krause shows how all these lives became intertwined, often in surprising and unpredictable ways, as the drama of the lockout unfolded. As the nineteenth century was drawing to a close, the Homestead Lockout dramatized the all-important question: Can the land of industry and technological innovation continue to be “the land of the free”? Can material progress, with its inevitable social and economic inequities, be made compatible with the American commitment to democracy for all? Twentieth-century history has demonstrated all too clearly the intesity of this dilemma. In addressing some of the thorniest issues of the last century, The Battle for Homestead demonstrates the enduring legacy and relevance of Homestead over a century later.
