            I mean, my family for one.

            Not an insigificant amount of Germans immigrated to the U.S. prior to the Civil War and ended up in the South, particularly the Carolinas and Georgia. My family doesn’t carry any German surnames, as many of the women eventually married into British families.

            My particular German heritage is from the Palatinate. A group of them were invited to settle in the U.S. by the British. They had to pledge allegiance to the monarch and got rights to settle in return.

            Of course it wasn’t super common, but it’s also not particularly unusual for African Americans to have pre-Civil War German ancestry. In fact, a good third of my European ancestry I’ve found is German.
