On Rhine Floats into Emigration
“ German emigration to the west, especially to North America, was originally caused by political and religious oppression, by war misery and famine. The great famine 1816-17 suddenly raised emigration restricted till then to a few thousands to 20,000 souls. Then the latter dropped again until the period of reaction in the 30s brought another rise which found its culminating point in 1847. In 1852 emigration made a sudden leap once more, reached a number (127,694) not nearly precedented before in 1854 … The industrial areas supply far less, but the number of those from Wurttemberg, Baden, Hesse is not insignificant … ”
(Meyers Konversations-Lexikon, 4th edition, II, 160).
From the south the people headed for the coast on i. a. large
emigration floats.
The 20-years-old Lasinsky saw these during his Rhine journey and handed them down on the following leaves. Throughout
