Beschreibung

In 1846, nearly 700 impoverished German immigrants from the small town of Groß-Zimmern arrived in New York City, their ships carrying more than just their meager belongings; they carried desperation, hope, and the weight of an uncertain future. Met with hostility, sickness, and starvation, these newcomers were cast as burdens on the city, igniting fierce debates on immigration and social responsibility. Labeled as "wretched human beings" by the press, they were thrust into a world that viewed them as a problem to be solved rather than people seeking a new beginning. But what became of them? Did they remain outcasts, or did they defy the odds and find a place in their new homeland? Cargo of Wretched Human Beings uncovers the gripping true story of these forgotten migrants-their struggles, triumphs, and the lasting impact they had on American society. Through meticulous research of historical records, William G. Beaman brings to life a pivotal yet overlooked chapter in the history of immigration, drawing powerful connections between past and present. This is a story of resilience, transformation, and the enduring pursuit of a better life against all odds.
