2W1C S02E06: Brewery Under Siege (New Ulm II)
There was not one, but two major attacks on New Ulm. The first of which is explained in this episode.
Today I dive more into the history of New Ulm and how the culture of those of German ancestry have influenced it.
I visit the Brown County historical society museum and see relics from generations long past.
I visit the Schell's Brewery, the 2nd oldest brewery in The United States. Germans set up a brewery here in New Ulm bringing a taste of the Old Country to the Great Plains of America. The family-owned business sacrificed much to survive 3 major tests to make it to today.

150 Years of Human Rights in Minnesota
In 1858, Minnesota was admitted to the Union. Its constitution declared that there shall be neither slavery nor involuntary servitude in the state. Thus, Minnesota joined the ranks of 16 other free states in a nation that also included 15 states where the slavery of African Americans was legal. Only three years later, Minnesotans would be among the first to answer the call to fight in a bloody Civil War, a war that would settle the matter of slavery, yet leave much work undone—work that continues today, as America still seeks to fulfill the promise of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness guaranteed to all.
In this look back at Minnesota's 150 years of statehood, we recall some of the milestones that have marked the struggle for human rights in our state. It's an epic story, a blockbuster, with twists and turns and fascinating characters—and it's still being written. It's a story to which we all can still contribute, but to do so, we need to know what's happened so far.
HWW: Kristin Hoganson and Jon Lauck at the Global Midwest Conference
Kristin Hoganson introduces Jon Lauck by characterizing the wider relationships that define the global Midwest. For Hoganson, it seems that the Midwest and Appalachia are overlooked by scholars grappling with globalization. She reads a statement from Dr. Robert Warrior, who chose not to attend the conference.
Jon Lauck begins his amusing and erudite discussion considering the history and perceptions of the Midwest as “Flyover country”. He laments a recent lack of historical focus surrounding the Midwest. 40 years ago there were several prominent historical journals with a focus on the Midwest. Today, these no longer exist. Further, college history courses with a focus on the Midwest are very rare. One of his goals is to generate new interest in Midwestern history and revive a once vibrant field of study. Lauck considers several contemporary studies debating how to define the Midwest and suggests several fecund avenues for historical research.
