Did German almost become the official language of the USA?

While there was a recommendation that laws be printed in German and English, it never came up for a vote. There are a lot of languages spoken in America. Spanish is the largest language after English. But there are plenty other languages as well, including German which is spoken by descendants of German immigrants. The Native American languages are also awesome 🙂
