Way before that. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_Americans I definitely know one great-something grandfather fought in the Civil War. As far as I could trace back through fragmentary records another was around during the Revolutionary War. The source said he moved out in the country since he was a Loyalist. It wasn't their best work but Orson Welles directed a movie, 'The Stranger' with Edward G. Robinson. Robinson is an agent hunting a Nazi war criminal. The criminal has integrated into a small town and doesn't trigger suspicion. Over the dinner table the criminal says Germans are a threat to the world and the Robinson character counters saying Germans like Marx made a positive contribution. The Nazi says that Marx was a Jew and can't possibly a German, blowing his cover nicely. The US wasn't all that welcoming in that era unless you were some sort of rock star. https://encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/article/voyage-of-the-st-louis
