* German Language Instruction: Many schools stopped teaching the German language, and some states even passed laws banning it. This was seen as a way to discourage loyalty to Germany and promote American patriotism.
* Sauerkraut Renamed: "Sauerkraut" was indeed renamed as "Liberty Cabbage" to distance it from its German origins. This was part of a broader effort to replace anything seen as "German" with an American alternative.
However, it's important to note that these changes were not universal and there were many schools that continued to teach German, and many people continued to call sauerkraut by its original name. This period of anti-German sentiment was a complex and controversial time in American history, with some viewing it as a necessary response to the threat posed by Germany, while others saw it as an overreaction fueled by fear and prejudice.
