Volume 19 contains articles and documents Marx and Engels wrote between late January 1861 and early June 1864. Many articles written for the New-York Daily Tribune and the Viennese newspaper Die Presse in 1861 and 1862 deal with the US Civil War. They contain the first-ever scholarly assessment of the war as a progressive turning-point in the history of the United States. Marx regarded the war as a form of bourgeois-democratic revolution. The political movements of the working class in European countries in support of the Northern states provided Marx and Engels with material for developing further the theory of the class struggle. Other articles are concerned with economic problems, the home and foreign policy of the European powers, colonialism and the working-class and national liberation movements. Buy this book from:
