Swedes in America
Although the first Swedes settled in America in 1638 (only
18 years after the Mayflower landfall), the vast majority of
them arrived in the middle years of the 19th century. A
combination of population growth and agricultural disasters
prompted more than 1.3 million Swedes (when Sweden's
population was just 5.5 million) to immigrate to the United
States; today American history and culture, thanks to people
like Carl Sandburg and John Erikson, are the richer for it.
This single page from American West gives the background in
Sweden and tells the story of this immigrant group, which
contrary to the popular picture, settled mostly in large
cities, like Chicago and Minneapolis. The page concludes
with a list of over 100 links dealing with Sweden, Swedish
immigration, and emigration from other countries.

texts. The list of posted authors is currently small, but
those that are listed comprise some of the key voices (William
Cullen Bryant, Emily Dickinson, Paul Laurence Dunbar, Ralph
Waldo Emerson, Edna St. Vincent Millay,). Once fully developed,
this Web site will be a prized reference for teachers and

Lynching and music
Lynching is the illegal execution of an accused person by a mob. It was
originally a system of punishment used by whites against African American
slaves. There was a decline in lynching during the First World War but more than
seventy blacks were murdered in this way in 1918. Ten black soldiers, several
still in their army uniforms, were amongst those lynched. Between 1919 and 1922,
a further 239 blacks were lynched by white mobs and many more were killed by
individual acts of violence and unrecorded lynchings. This website provides
recordings that deal with lynching: Strange Fruit (Billie Holiday) The Death of
Emmett Till (Bob Dylan), Vigilante Man (Woody Guthrie), Taneytown (Steve Earle),
Ballad of Medgar Evers (Phil Ochs) and A Pawn in their Game (Bob Dylan). |
