Instead, the Germans (and the Irish and the Italians and all the other prior waves of immigrants) held fast to their language and tradition and religion, forming ethnic enclaves and setting up all sorts of institutions to preserve their particular identity.

Dope should read up on Benjamin Franklin's criticisms of the assimilation of the German's to American culture. Many German's didn't change their names. They announced their names, we couldn't pronounce it, so it was changed for them.
