A bunch of Germans show up in Huntsville at the end of a bitter war, and are able to fit in to the community. You yankees show up, and can’t fit in. Now, is the problem with the open and welcoming community, or the yankee kids with chips on their shoulders?

I believe the "chips" came afterwards...
