Macedonian Americans
Macedonian Americans ((マケドニア語:Македонски Американци, ''Makedonski Amerikanci'')) is an American ethnic group of Macedonian heritage.
==History==
The first Macedonian American immigrants came from the border regions in the north of what is today Greek Macedonia, primarily the regions near Kastoria (''Kostur''), Florina (''Lerin''), and the south-west of the Republic of Macedonia, notably around Bitola. In the first half of 20th century they were considered and identified as Bulgarians or as Macedonian Bulgarians.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Elizabeth Shostak, Macedonian americans )〕〔Illinois Historical Journal, Vol. 84 (Spring, 1991) The Bulgarian Colony of Southwestern Illinois, 1900-1920, D. E. CASSENS: "Bulgarians who settled in the tri-city area were overwhelmingly male and had come predominately from the Bulgarian-speaking parts of Macedonia".〕〔Emily Greene Balch, ''Our Slavic fellow citizens'', Charities Publication Committee, New York, 1910, p.363: "I hope you are not making any racial distinctions between Bulgarians and Macedonians. I believe the Bulgarians who have come from Macedonia and registered on Ellis Island as Macedonians, which is bound to be confusing and inaccurate, for Macedonians may include Greeks, Vlachs, and even Turks. The distinction between the Bulgarians from Bulgaria and those from Macedonia is purely political".〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Prpic, George. South Slavic immigration in America, Boston: Twayne, 1978, p. 212-222 )〕
It is estimated that around 50,000 Macedonians emigrated to the United States between 1903 and 1906, but the outbreak of the Balkan Wars and World War I curtailed the flow. Around 20,000 remained in the U.S., and the rest returned home. The immigrants were predominantly peasants, with the remainder including craftsmen, workers, and intellectuals. Immigration restarted after the wars; most of the new immigrants were ethnic Macedonians from Greece, many of whom had been expelled from Greek Macedonia in the 1920s. Since the 1920s and 1930s the Macedonian language has been recorded in American censuses.〔IPUMS USA (1920 Census: Instructions to Enumerators )〕〔IPUMS USA (1930 Census: Instructions to Enumerators )〕 Around 50,000-60,000 Macedonians had emigrated to the US by the end of World War II.
