==Hyphenated American==

Hyphenated American is phrase popularized by former president [[Theodore Roosevelt]] during [[World War I]]—at a time the U.S. was neutral and had not entered the war—to criticize [[American]]s who had some loyalties to the countries of their ancestors. He used it only to attack [[German]]-Americans and [[Irish]]-Americans (never to attack [[British]]-Americans who were demonstrating strong loyalties to [[Britain]], which was at [[war]] with [[Germany]] and was suppressing [[Ireland]]. The issue proved highly political and controversial, and hurt the [[Republican]] presidential candidate in 1916, [[Charles Evans Hughes]].  Hughes lost a very close election to [[Woodrow Wilson]] when German American Republicans were suspicious that Hughes was supported by Roosevelt.
