"1683-1920" by Frederick Franklin Schrader is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book explores a range of political and historical topics, particularly in relation to American society and its institutions, during the period surrounding World War I. Its focus appears to be on the impact of propaganda and the implications of American attitudes toward foreign relations, especially concerning German Americans during a time of significant national tension. The opening of the book provides context for its critical exploration of themes related to wartime propaganda and the narratives surrounding German influences in the United States. Schrader sets out to refute the prevailing anti-German sentiment by countering historical misconceptions and highlighting the contributions of people of German descent to American society. He aims to educate American readers on the true nature of their historical and political landscape, addressing topics such as public education, the treatment of German Americans, and the rewriting of history influenced by wartime politics.
