@americanourstory.bsky.socialIn the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, the #Lithuanian American community was closely tied to the #Polish community.
@americanourstory.bsky.socialThe early struggle for #Lithuanians in America involved a move away from the #Polish community and toward the definition of a pure #Lithuanian national and ethnic identity
@equalisource.bsky.socialThe post-World War II wave of #Lithuanian immigrants—the Dipukai —also experienced a surge of #Lithuanian consciousness. These later immigrants saw themselves as an exiled community and clung to their memory of two decades of freedom in Lithuania.
@equalisource.bsky.socialthe rising tide of #Lithuanian nationalism and ethnic identity toward the end of the nineteenth century sparked profound changes in the #Lithuanian American religious community.
@equalisource.bsky.socialThe size and strength of the #Lithuanian American community has allowed its people to maintain a certain sense of ethnic heritage, even as the immigrant population evolves and its succeeding generations become thoroughly Americanized.
@americanourstory.bsky.socialThe dominance of #Roman Catholicism in the #Lithuanian American community is even more pronounced because of the influence of Catholicism in the formation of the institutions of #Lithuanian identity.
@americanourstory.bsky.socialAlthough they were not a real force in national politics, #Lithuanian Americans used their numbers to dominate local politics, electing local officials, state legislators, judges, and occasionally members of the U.S. House of Representatives
@americanourstory.bsky.social#Lithuanian Americans began to climb up the economic ladder and gain an important place in their local communities. This mobility allowed them to enter the American mainstream

@americanourstory.bsky.socialThe development of #Lithuanian #Roman Catholicism took hold early in the twentieth century, cementing a #Lithuanian ethnic consciousness in America
@americanourstory.bsky.social#Lithuanian Americans were especially interested in both World Wars, since they directly influenced the fate of #Lithuanian independence.
@equalisource.bsky.socialEfforts of the #Lithuanian American community moved #Lithuanian Americans into the wider sphere of the #Lithuanian exile community worldwide, uniting American organizations with others in Europe and elsewhere.
