Description
Karl Marx did not view Lincoln as fighting to quell a rebellion, but to start a revolution to end worker exploitation by abolishing a stratification system that was not in the workers interest. Even Lincolns conscription policy during the Civil War was said to support the workers. The author cites, in full or part, Marxs various writings (articles and letters, including one Marx wrote to Lincoln and a reply by Ambassador Charles Adams on Lincolns behalf) in which Marx analyzes Lincolns actions (e.g., his dismissal of McClellan, The Emancipation Proclamation, conscription), as well as Union (northern) elections and discusses military campaigns.
