I thank the Senator from Wisconsin for his contribution on that point. In my State of Texas it Is not widely known. but there was a very large German migration to my State which began when .Texas was a Republic. because one could. be naturalized in the Republic of. Texas after only 6 months residence with no requirement to learn English. Texas wanted to settle Germans. so as to act as a buffer between the Texans and the Comanches. and gave the Germans free land as an inducement to come to Texas. The failure of the liberal revolution in central Europe in 1848 caused Germanspeaking settlers to pour into Texas by the thousands.
