Synopsis
Excerpt from The Life and Letters of Francis Lieber
For a long time Germany has paid a high price for her military supremacy and her somewhat rigid system of government, by the constant drain that emigration to this country has made upon her population. During the last sixty years, no less than three million Germans have reached these shores, most of whom have made themselves homes where it was possible to enjoy immunity from some Of the discomforts which. They felt in their own land. Among these immigrants, who have formed a very valuable part of the population of the United States, have been many political exiles, who have been the special Object of the despotic measures that have occasionally threatened to stifle the national life of Germany during the present cen tury and it is impossible to overlook the almost infallible accuracy with which the German police put their hand on those young men who, under different circumstances, have shown themselves able to shed glory on the land of their adoption, as well as on that Of their birth.
