The german refugees to Pennsylvannia were Quakers and Mennonites-----persecuted in Germany. ---clearly not Nazis----unfortunately lots of the
scum that peopled the HUDSON VALLEY -----were (and in some cases--ARE --
Nazis)
Germans are the biggest nationality in the US. Chances are Lincoln was probably German, and chances are he was a puritan turned Quaker. The US was build upon Germans, get use to it.
Puritans were not german------they were limeys. Unlike Penelope----they
were not illiterate. Lincoln did learn to read and write very well from his
stepmother
What is a limey? Lincoln was an attorney and the first Rep. President, and most likely German.
he could very well have had german background-----SO??? The puritan refugees were BRITS. A "limey" is something every heatlh care worker knows. British sailors -----way back---
were vulnerable to VITAMIN C deficiency which causes the fatal sickness
SCURVY -----all health care workers know that. The Brits learned that storing
LIMES (or lemons) in the ship and feeding them to the sailors could save them
from that sickness. The germans are called "KRAUTS" because their high
vitamin C source was-----sauerkraut . I never met a health care worker who did
not know these tidbits about scurvy and Vitamin C. Besides being illiterate,
you have a remarkable lack of simply general knowledge
