Which line in the passage describes the cultural effect that World War I had on German Americans living in the United States?
Most German-American congregations suffered from the German language ban, and many of them eventually switched to English for their
religious services. Mennonites, Amish, and Hutterites were among the groups that were most heavily exposed to hostility, because their
members were not only of German descent but also generally opposed to military participation. During wartime, however, their pacifist creed
was taken as proof of their pro-German sympathies; the fact that most of them kept apart from their American neighbors made them even
more suspect. In general, they chose not to comment on the public discourse; they continued to operate their own schools, cherished their old
customs, spoke their German dialects, and resisted Americanization. None of them felt any loyalty toward Germany; they just wanted to be left
alone to practice their faith and live according to their religious beliefs. The more liberal congregations chose to work out a compromise with the
Wilson government in which they allowed their young men to participate in the civil service.
