🇺🇸 📖 **Civil War Settlers: Scandinavians, Citizenship, and American Empire, 1848–1870**

"_Associating American citizenship with liberty and equality, Scandinavian immigrants openly opposed slavery and were among the most enthusiastic foreign-born supporters of the early Republican Party. However, the malleable concept of citizenship was used by immigrants to resist draft service, and support a white man's republic through territorial expansion on American Indian land and into the Caribbean. Consequently, Scandinavian immigrants after emancipation proved to be reactionary Republicans, not abolitionists._"

Please note that ACM's new "open" business model is not sustainable: either authors pay APCs individually or libraries effectively pay APCs for their institution's authors. Costs to libraries go up if more of their people publish. ACM now incentivized to publish as many articles as possible.

But at least the articles will be free for as long as ACM can run with this scheme.
