> "The early German settlers of America were peaceful and pious farmers, escaping militarism and religious strife. Not so the immigrants of the 1850s, who were militarized advocates of violent social revolution, prototypes of later European communists and fascists. Revolutionaries and socialists on both side of the Atlantic enthusiastically embraced Lincoln's war as a continuation of the French Revolution and of their own failed revolution of 1848.
> This is documented by [Al] Benson and [Walter Donald] Kennedy in full chapter and verse. The Forty-Eighters furnished at least four Union generals, several of whom were intimates ofKarl Marx[emphasis added] and Friedrich Engels, and a host of colonels and Republican party activists.
> The later-coming Germans may have made possible Lincoln's election in 1860 by tipping the demographic balance in previously Democratic states.Marx, who knew even less about America than he did about everything else,described the conflict with the kind of grand abstractions that appeal to people of that ilk, even celebrating the rich corporation lawyer Lincoln as a hero of the working class.
> The Forty-Eighters did not dominate Lincoln's party, but they were a very strong element within it. Nor did they necessarily have a complete picture, but recognized that the Union cause was a step in their Marxist directionan unappealable centralization of power combined with the violent destruction of reactionary elements.
> Since that time, their ideas have triumphed completely. Marx's description of the war of 1861-65 as a defensive effort against violent reactionaries engaged in a wicked rebellion to spread slavery is now the mainstream p.c. interpretation, in the schools and media, of America's central event."
