The civil war was all about cash.

Of course it was. And free men are costumers, slaves not.

Freedom isn't a simple thing to deal, isn't it?

I must disagree, the civil war was about geopolitics and power.

Lincoln was actually racist and people in the north had slaves themselves; so please stop calling him socialist.

I'm not calling him socialist. It's just fiction.

The true champion of Freedom, indeed.
The economic reconstruction of the South would be made on a way that benefited the former slaves, generating wealth and avoiding the cities of the North become overpopulated.

Thanks for the comment.

Wow! This is very interesting...
Do you have any more information on the Lincoln-Marx connection?

bluessaurus In reply to WestwallSpring [2010-12-16 21:45:47 +0000 UTC]

Well, my teacher at university told me Marx really wrote some articles for the New York Tribune about the Civil War, and seems to be his views about Lincoln was positive.
I'm looking for these articles, it's very difficult to find Marx' little known writings in portuguese...

Indeed.
If Lincoln wasn't killed, and if Marx had emigrated for the United States.

Maybe it would make World better...

They were apparently communicating by mail shortly before he was assassinated; I think that was why Harry Turtledove chose to make Lincoln the founder of the American Socialist Party in his TL-191.
