German Conspiracies In Americ PDF Download

German Conspiracies in America From an American Point of View is written by Alabama politician William Henry Skaggs. This is only one of two books by Skaggs, the other of which is entitled "The Southern Oligarchy: An Appeal in Behalf of the Silent Masses of Our Country Against the Despotic Rule of the Few." Skaggs, as both a politician and an author, is very outspoken and he presents his strong beliefs with powerful writing in this book. This book is written with World War I in mind, as almost a response to both the conflict with Germans in Europe and in response to the conflicts in the United States between "Americans" and "Germans" during the War. Skaggs argues that the anti-German bias that grew during the years of World War I began long ago, and that conspiracies perpetuated by Germans have existed in the United States since its inception. Skagg reveals his own bias against Germans as he forcefully attempts to unveil and dissect German conspiracies within U.S. borders. While Skaggs offers some interesting and relevant historic information, his book German Conspiracies in America From an American Point of View reads heavily as a treatise against all Germans, regardless of loyalty or conduct. While this book affords the reader an interesting view into nationalism and the anti-German sentiment that grew in the U.S. around the World Wars, the book also reads like a xenophobic propaganda piece. Ultimately, this book has some entertainment value for individuals interested in conspiracy theories and for readers who won't take the text too seriously.
