The great majority of Germans migrating to the U.S. both before and after the Civil War did so for economic reasons, though there were some who fled or migrated for political reasons. It is noteworthy that the some of the poorest regions in German (in the period c. 1700-1880 - such as Württemberg) contributed an exceptionally high number of migrants to America. They were unhappy with economic changes in Germany.
The German came to the USA in the 1800s because there was a war going on and also their crops were failing. They came to the USA in hope of a new life and a better dream and maybe even some work. The immigrants (Irish, German) came on a boat and if you earned enough money to send your family over to America.
The period 1840-1860 was a period of political upheaval in Germany as the conservative forces of Nationalism and the independence of the city states began to be eroded by the emerging liberalism and the push for unification. Over this period Germany became an uncertain and economically bereft environment.
With the opportunities in America caused by gold rushes and the gradual expansion west as well as the need for cheap labor due to the industiralisation of the North, there were opportunities which the hungry and displaced peoples of northern and central Europe decided to explore.
