In the late-19th century milwaukee, wisconsin, earned what nickname because of its swelling population of immigrants ?

Milwaukee received a very large immigration of several millions of Germans in the late 1800's in various waves including some revolutionary Germans form the 1848 revolution  and so it is conceivable that Milwaukee could have been called a the "German Athens of America" for its German cultural events during this time.
