Title |
John Meintz, punished during World War I |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Description |
On August 19, 1918, amidst anti-German sentiment during World War I, German-American farmer John Meints (misspelled Meintz), was taken from his home in Luverne, Minnesota and driven to the border with South-Dakota. There, masked locals whipped him, threatened to shoot him, and tarred-and-feathered him, forcing him to cross the border and threatening to hang him if he returned. Meints named 32 of the men involved in a lawsuit, but they were acquitted, with the judge instructing the jury that the evidence strongly supported his disloyalty. Meints later won an appeal and settled out of court in 1922.[1]
