The Civil War in the United States

The Civil War in the United States is a compilation of writings and letters by Marx and Engels, including articles originally published in the New York Daily Tribune. Marx and Engels analyze the causes of the war, the alignment of class forces in the United States, and the support for the abolition of slavery by the international proletariat, as well as comment militarily on the course of the war. Central is Marx's and Engels' fervent and direct support for the liberation of the slaves, which would ultimately strengthen the American proletariat and its mission of overthrowing the bourgeoisie. Where appropriate, Prairie Fire Publishing has improved the translation of documents according to authorized translations released after the original 1937 International Publishers edition.
