That is most likely from the immigrants we had come over pre-world war 2 and we don't require German to be learned also because of WW2. There was a large German population on the east coast especially with the PA Dutch being one of them. When the war was going on there was a large push in the nation to stop everyone from speaking German because it was seen as a traitor language.
