German Americans
It is strange that German Americans would be separate themselves to do conflicts. One would think that you would stick together in a new land when you immigrate but apparently that is not the case. The case of geography makes sense since technically there wasn't a unified Germany at the time. I suppose separating the Bavarians from the Prussians makes sense despite both being German. Separation due to religion is something that can be quite messy due to the many conflicts of different beliefs. The schism due to the Americanization of their beliefs can only drive them even more apart. These differences played a huge role in causing schisms in the German American communities.

When you really think about, there are so many separations between people of the same ethnicity, class, and religion. When it comes to religion they are many different type of religion. Even when you are talking about a certain religion such as Catholic, the Catholic church is broken down to several different groups that people separate in which they believe.
