Martin Waldseemüller, of Freiburg, in his\u003cbr\u003eCosmographiae Introductio, published in 1507, wrote: \"I do not see why\u003cbr\u003eany one may justly forbid it to be named after Americus, its\u003cbr\u003ediscoverer, a man of sagacious mind, Amerige, that is the land of\u003cbr\u003eAmericus or America, since both Europe and Asia derived their names\u003cbr\u003efrom women.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe first complete ship-load of Germans left Gravesend July the 24th,\u003cbr\u003e1683, and arrived in Philadelphia October the 6th, 1683. They settled\u003cbr\u003ein Germantown, or, as it was then called, on account of the poverty of\u003cbr\u003ethe settlers, Armentown.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUp to within the last few years the majority of our settlers have been\u003cbr\u003eTeutonic in blood and Protestant in religion. The English, Dutch,\u003cbr\u003eSwedes, Germans, Scotch-Irish, who settled in America, were all, less\u003cbr\u003ethan two thousand years ago, one Germanic race from the country\u003cbr\u003esurrounding the North Sea.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSince 1820 more than 5,200,000 Germans have settled in America. This\u003cbr\u003eimmigration of Germans has practically ceased, and it is a serious\u003cbr\u003eloss to America, for it has been replaced by a much less desirable\u003cbr\u003etype of settler. In 1882 western Europe sent us 563,174 settlers, or\u003cbr\u003e87 per cent., while southern and eastern Europe and Asiatic Turkey\u003cbr\u003esent 83,637, or 13 per cent. In 1905 western Europe sent 215,863, or\u003cbr\u003e21.7 per cent., and southern and eastern Europe and Asiatic Turkey,\u003cbr\u003e808,856, or 78.9 per cent. of our new population. In 1910 there were\u003cbr\u003e8,282,618 white persons of German origin in the United States;\u003cbr\u003e2,501,181 were born in Germany; 3,911,847 were born in the United\u003cbr\u003eStates, both of whose parents were born in Germany; 1,869,590 were\u003cbr\u003eborn in the United States, one parent born in the United States and\u003cbr\u003eone in Germany.","brand":"SAP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47121045848304,"sku":"2940013037564","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940013037564_p0.jpg?v=1763575675","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940013037564","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
