Web link: [Web Link] History of Mark: Germans who came to this country before the Civil War, were escaping oppression in Europe. They, therefore sympathized with the Northern view, unfortunate for them, as many Germans moved to Texas and to this area of Missouri, sometimes referred to as "Little Dixie". Both here and in Texas when "these" Germans were found they were drug into the streets, or where ever they stood, and were killed.
