Talk:German American/Comments
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I haven't had time to closely read the entire article, but it is in error where it says Theodore Roosevelt referred to German Americans as "hyphenated Americans." I am graduate student in journalism now finishing a history of German-language newspapers in the United States. My sources on the WWI period all agree it was Woodrow Wilson who used "hyphenated Americans" in reference to German Americans. Theodore Roosevelt was no fan of German Americans, but it was Wilson -- who was president during WWI -- who used that phrase. Nebraska Lola 06:52, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
