Historians have long argued that the Great War eradicated German culture from American soil. Degrees of Allegiance examines the experiences of German-Americans living in Missouri during the First World War, evaluating the personal relationships at the local level that shaped their lives and the way that they were affected by national war effort guidelines. Spared from widespread hate crimes, German-Americans in Missouri did not have the same bleak experiences as other German-Americans in the Midwest or across America. But they were still subject to regular charges of disloyalty, sometimes because of conflicts within the German-American community itself. Degrees of Allegiance updates traditional thinking about the German-American experience during the Great War, taking into account not just the war years but also the history of German settlement and the war’s impact on German-American culture.

The following pages contain the report of the Self-Study of Zion Evangelical and Reformed Church, Rev. Donald J.W. Burkhalter, Pastor. The data for the report was gathered and tabulated by a Self-Study Committee, and its Sub-committees, under the direction of Mr. P.L. Schneider. ... The office of City Church and Urban Strategy (CCUS) has completed the second step of assembling and analyzing the data into this workbook report. With the reproduction and distribution of the Self-Study workbook report, the analytic first phase of the Study is completed. When the Study Committee has distributed the report, the congregation completes the third step by planning how it will use these facts in its future program and ministry"--Leaves 1-2.
