This was really good....and thank you for scrapple!
I miss documentaries like this. I only wish it was about 2 hours long.
Wonderful documentary
Honestly it is kind of funny because part of my blood line has German and dutch german which means that one of my relatives could have lived there
want info about when were in Europe who later became these Pennsylvania dutch immigrants
Well that just started to interest me and it’s over?
Is it German or Dutch ?
It’s German, the reason why English people call it “Dutch” is because a couple hundred years ago they didn’t distinguish between Dutch or German. And used the words interchangeably
interesting info found about them being called palantines .. hmm my mother's side from them
Same
@@DigitalDuelist what did you conclude from that, I was thinking palatine's were holy roman empire ambassadors at least the leaders
I come from Pennsylvania-Dutch (mothers side) as well as Swedish and Scottish. As for my father's side, I don't know except Texas and German. I'm convinced that my knowledge of cooking, sewing, gardening, repairing etc. comes mostly from my German heritage.
As a Dutch person i have to correct you here. Dutch is all from The Netherlands. Duits is German . Duitsland instead of Germany and Duitsers for Germans
In our own language it's just 'Nederlands ' when pointing out our Language, habits , products, nationality.
Duits and Dutch are very different things.
And Holland (south and North Holland) are just provinces in The Netherlands. Like Pennsyvania is of the US.
The Netherlands have a long cultural history of farming . Due to the flat land and abundance of greenfields (rain). I recocnize the womens clothes from history paintings etc. But the written language shown is German.
Maybe you should do some deeper dive in the history or find out why it's said to be Dutch, while it's all Duits ?
Because Americans of that time referred to any one from Germanic Europe as being Dutch
Before England limited the term Dutch for their trading rival (Netherland) it meaned any west germanic speaker on the continent.
The deeper dive has been done. In the 1600's - 1700's, the English word Dutch referred to all speakers of West Germanic languages, not just people from The Netherlands.
To add on, it is only nowadays that "Duits" here refers solely to present-day Germany, but before the Dutch Republic and therefore the Dutch identity really. People in the Netherlands referred to themselves as "Duits" too.
Why did they come to the ENGLISH colonies? Go back
Religious freedom. And no. You go back
You mean English slavery?
Germans fought against slavery.
Germans were the best diplomats among the natives.
Of the highest award in America to date, the "Medal of Honor", 150 were awarded to Germans who were not born in the USA
That's what the indigenous people said 😮
