The term "hyphenated American" was published by 1889, and was common as a derogatory term by 1904.
During World War I the issue arose of the primary political loyalty of ethnic groups with close ties to Europe,
especially German Americans and also Irish Americans.
Former President Theodore Roosevelt in speaking to the largely Irish Catholic Knights of Columbus at Carnegie Hall on Columbus Day 1915, asserted that.
There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism.
When I refer to hyphenated Americans, I do not refer to naturalized Americans.
Some of the very best Americans I have ever known were naturalized Americans, Americans born abroad.
But a hyphenated American is not an American at all ...
The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all,
would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities, an intricate knot of German-Americans, Irish-Americans, English-Americans,
French-Americans, Scandinavian-Americans or Italian-Americans, each preserving its separate nationality, each at heart feeling more sympathy
with Europeans of that nationality, than with the other citizens of the American Republic ...
There is no such thing as a hyphenated American who is a good American.
The only man who is a good American is the man who is an American and nothing else.
President Woodrow Wilson regarded "hyphenated Americans" with suspicion, saying,
"Any man who carries a hyphen about with him carries a dagger that he is ready to plunge into the vitals of this Republic whenever he gets ready."
