Answer:
Propaganda and Violence
Step-by-step explanation:
U.S. Government propaganda erased german culture as the U.S. entered the war. Up to the point where the U.S. joined the war, German-Americans were spared from any discrimination. This however changed when the U.S. joined the war. German- Americans did their best to "shed" the vestiges of their heritage and become fully "American." Many of the German-Americans were attacked physically. their homes and businesses were vandalized and many were accused of being "pro-german". German-Americans were tarred, feathered, and lynched.
