But while the ideals of German revolutionists have been unrealized, Germans have, without previous concert, con- tinued to concentrate in some few states of the Union. It is a curious fact that German settlement in the United States follows a belt beginning with Pennsylvania and running due west through Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Wiscon- sin, Iowa, and Missouri.' In general this may be accounted for by two facts: First, the Germans generally avoid the southern states, because they are not acquain...ted with the products of the south, while they understand the cultiva- tion of wheat, rye, oats, and other northern products; again, land in the south, before the War of the Rebellion, was held by large land-owners who rarely sold, and free labor was degraded by competition with slave labor;' the climate of the south, moreover, was found to be less suit- able to Germans. Another reason for their preference w^as, that the Germans were searching for work, and par- ticularly for land, which latter was abundant in that tier of states during the period of their immigration.
