Technically they weren't Germans since the country didn't exist but there 
has been a German presence in the US from almost the beginning. It didn't 
last long but Ben Franklin published 'Philadelphische Zeitung' in 1732, 
the first German language newspaper in the colonies.

A couple of events may have resulted in a surge. If you were on the wrong 
side in 1848 a sea voyage would look good. Bismarck's KulturKampf in 
Prussia could persuade Catholics that there were greener pastures. The 
stubborn ones formed the Centre party.

In the US the Germans and Irish worked well together. The Germans took 
care of business while the Irish provided the politicians and cops. That 
seemed to apply in Europe too, given Roger Casement's little scheme.
