Are seeing the primary source documents, where might the German immigrant choose to settle in America? Why might they choose the MIdwest? Are they educated or not? Do they have money or nothing? What might their work skills include? How might immigrants with money contribute to the community they choose? Can the community thrive with just skilled immigrants? Why/why not? Do they need unskilled immigrants also? Why/Why not?

Where did the German immigrants go and how did these documents help them get there? What traditions did they bring that became part of our “All American” culture
