The political activism of the #Hungarians in America reaches back to the mid-nineteenth century, when Lajos Kossuth (1802-1894) visited the United States (1851-1852) urging Americans to intervene on behalf of defeated Hungary

According to one set of statistics, of all the #Hungarians (Magyars) in the United States in 1920, fewer than 0.2 % were engaged in agriculture. Virtually all of them worked in mining and industry

The 3rd-, 4th-, and 5th-generation descendants of the economic immigrants have already melted into American society. Most of them have lost their ability to speak #Hungarian and no longer have a true identity of themselves as #Hungarians.

Among the nearly 1,000 #Hungarians in the Union army was the young Joseph Pulitzer (1817-1911), who subsequently became the king of American journalism and the founder of the famous literary prize that bears his name.
