Default Marx and Engels letters on the subject of the ACW
This is a site w/ some very interesting views on the subject from two of the most revolutionary authors of their time. An intriguing look at the ACW through the eys of Marx & Engels.

Interesting how Marx was clear that it was all about slavery, but people living here today are confused.

Shane,

Thank you for the above web site. I had seen some of Marx's articles on other locations on the web, but not as complete as they are at this site.
