	Germany Info: German-Ameicans
		Germans, like other immigrant groups, settled with other speakers of their language from the area of their birth, where they felt at home away from home.
		Before 1820, as many as half of all German immigrants were indentured servants, people who paid for their trip by indebting themselves to the ship owners before meeting family in America, and in many cases, paying their debt in full on arrival.
		Germans saw prohibition attempts as an attack on their freedom and as an encroachment on their traditional leisure activities: evenings in bars and Sundays in the beer garden.

	The German Texans
		German Texans actively participated in politics, and by 1846 a German language version of Texas law was in place.

		The German immigrants’ mark on Texas is found in place names, like Schulenburg and Shiner; it’s heard in the popular cultural influences of Adolf Hofner, and the accordion in Tejano and Zydeco music; and it’s experienced in the easy-going temperament in the face of tremendous obstacles that gave Texas its motto, “the friendly state.”;

	German Food & Cuisine :: Soccerphile
		Nowadays the difference in German's lifestyle means that dinner is often the main meal, and 'continental' breakfasts of cereals sometimes replace the traditional German one.

		Germans are also very fond of a good beer ("liquid bread") and Germany has around 5-6,000 varieties of beer.

	German Coast (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		The German Coast was a region of early Louisiana settlement located above New Orleans on the Mississippi River — specifically, in St. John the Baptist and St. Charles parishes of present-day Acadiana.
		It was so called because of its large population of German pioneers, who in 1768 joined with Acadians from the Cabannocé Post area to march on New Orleans and overthrow Spanish colonial governor Antonio de Ulloa.
		Eventually, these Germans intermarried with the Acadians and their descendants, began to speak French, and were transformed along with the Acadians and other frontier settlers into the Cajun population.
