Although Franz Mehring writes in detail of Marx's opinions on the U. S. Civil War, readers who know The Education of Henry Adams may be disappointed with his account. In that book Henry Adams describes how his father, Charles Francis Adams, then Minister to England, successfully prevented English intervention on the side of the Confederacy, pays a tribute to Marx and the First International for having swung English public opinion to the Northern cause...
