Hopeful Journeys: German Immigration, Settlement, and Political Culture in Colonial America, 1717–1775
Hopeful Journeys follows German-speaking migrants who crossed the Atlantic and built communities in colonial British America. Aaron Spencer Fogleman examines the economic pressures, religious networks, family strategies, and political experiences behind their movement. The book demonstrates that eighteenth-century immigration reshaped both European societies and the colonies, while preparing newcomers to participate in the political upheavals of the American Revolution.
