  In 1816, the state of Pennsylvania tried fifty-nine German-Americans on charges of conspiracy and rioting. They had conspired to prevent with physical force the introduction of English language into the largest German church in North America, Philadelphia's Lutheran congregation of St Michael's and Zion. This book deals with this topic.
