"Once in the USA, the Germans initially established themselves
as a respected immigrant group, classic 'hyphen-Americans'
with dual identity. Countless communities developed with schools,
churches and clubs, in which the German language and culture was
preserved and cultivated. As advanced industrialisation took hold
in the USA, German-Americans were among the most established groups
of the population, both in farming and among the new blue-collar professions.
Their early presence among the new industries also led to Germans
becoming more mobile than virtually any other group. They were
less tightly concentrated in individual regions than other
immigrants and spread across the country working as foremen
in railway construction, for example."
