The Communist Revolution of 1861 Against
the United States and Against the
Confederate States of America

After the Declaration of Independence in 1776, our founding fathers begin putting together a more cohesive contract of government between the various sovereign States of America. This was called Articles of Confederation which was ratified on March 1, 1781.

Eight decades later, with the election of Abraham Lincoln, a man determined to destroy States’ Rights and the Confederacy of our founding fathers, seven Southern States seceded from the United States ( “the Union”). On March 4, 1861 the first provisional congress was convened and formed the Confederate States of America to preserve the dream of our founding fathers. Six weeks later on April 15, 1861 Abraham Lincoln Declared War on the Southern States after manufacturing an excuse by sending Federal troops on April 4, 1861 to fortify Ft. Sumter, South Carolina, within the new Southern Nation. Lincoln didn’t bother to get Constitutional permission from Congress for his declaration of War.

Southern statesmen knew that Abraham Lincoln and his new Republican Party were corrupt men intent upon the continued plundering of the Southern States through unfair tariffs, but it was even worse than most suspected. They did not know that the Communist Karl Marx was corresponding with Lincoln and encouraging the war against the South. A Confederacy of State Republics is opposite of a Communist or Federalist type of Centralized (“Union”).

The Lincoln Putsch: America's Bolshevik Assisted Revolution

Union General Franz Sigel had been a leader in the communist Revolution of 1848, a revolution fought to destroy the individual state governments of Germany and France, and forcibly unite them under an all-powerful central, socialist government. That revolution failed and Sigel, along with thousands of other “forty-eighters,” fled Europe for America, bringing their revolutionary socialist ideas with them. Karl Marx fled to London under the protection of the rich Friedrich Engels. During Lincoln’s War against the South, Lincoln’s German troops declared “I fights mit Sigel.”

Carl Schurz, another forty-eighter, had met Karl Marx at the Democratic Club in Cologne. Schurz delivered the votes of 300,000 German immigrants to Lincoln in 1860. It was Schurz's ideas and influence that eventually held sway with Lincoln, and encourage the invasion of the Confederacy and resulted in the Emancipation Proclamation allegedly freeing slaves in Confederate territory, but not freeing any slaves in Yankee territory. Meanwhile, Lincoln executed hundreds of Blacks in New York for refusing to join the Yankee Army as well as crushing opposition to his war by Northern newspapers.

German and other European communist refugees in American were instructed to support Lincoln’s invasion of the South. The extremely pro-Union, anti-Southern writings of Marx and his colleague Engels echo the attitude of his German followers. (It is worth noting that Lincoln has long been a hero in the Communist world including in the U.S.S.R. and there was the Communist “Abraham Lincoln Brigade” in the Spanish Civil War). The preponderance of German-born officers and men in the Union armies is overwhelming. It is estimated that in 1860 there were approximately 1,204,075 Germans in the states. Of the total of those serving, at least 36,000 served under German officers. If the total number of German troops is assumed to be 216,000 and we accept that the total of all foreign-born troops was nearly 500,000.

Most of the same super rich bankers and royal families who were secretly behind the Karl Marx and his Communist movement in the attempt to take over Europe in 1848 were behind the successful Communist Revolution of 1861 in America to crush the Confederate States of America and at the same time to establish complete centralization of government in Washington, D.C. Movements like the Confederacy are a threat to empires. Mega-states, regardless of their personal differences, must hang together to maintain the myth of omnipotent government.

However, the huge majority of communists then as well as today have no idea that a group of elitist families largely control the entire international movement for their own ultimate benefit of forming a New World Order for a world plantation of worker-slaves who have only an illusion of freedom and liberty.
