Was Abraham Lincoln influenced by communism when the Union condemned the rights of Southern states to express their independence? It's shocking to think so. But that's precisely what Walter D. Kennedy and Al Benson Jr. assert in Red Republicans and Lincoln's Marxists. The pair completely reassess this tumultuous time in American history, exposing the "politically correct" view of the War for Southern Independence as nothing less than the same observation announced by Marx himself. During the American Civil War, Marx wrote about his support of the Union Army, the Republican Party, and Lincoln himself. In fact, he named the president as "the single-minded son of the working class."In addition to shedding light on this little-known part of our history, Kennedy and Benson also ask pertinent questions about the validity of today's federal government and why its role seems so much larger than the liberty found in the states it represents. Red Republicans and Lincoln's Marxists is a bold undertaking, but it's one that needs our immediate and absolute attention.

5.0 out of 5 stars Think communism is a 20th century phenomenon? Think again
Reviewed in the United States on February 13, 2009

Most of us, when confronted with the idea of communism or marxism or socialism in the United States automatically think of the Cold War or Joseph McCarthy or the 1960s. Red Republicans and Lincoln's Marxists: Marxism in the Civil War is a book that shows how these flawed philosophies began to infect America a hundred years (or more) before the Cold War.
Diligent research by the authors shows the spotlight not only on the marxist/socialists who entered the United States after the failed Revolutions of 1848 in Europe, but also digs up evidence of home-grown experiments in American socialism in the early 1800s.
Readers may be surprised to find out that just how many connections existed between the Republican Party of the Civil War era and the failed revolutionaries (the "48ers") who came to the United States either by choice or by exile. And while the authors do not label Lincoln himself as an avowed marxist, he certainly enjoyed the support of the vast majority of socialist exiles, both politically and militarily.
Especially interesting is the connection between these revolutionaries and the author of the Pledge of Allegiance. Read the book to find out more.
Red Republicans and Lincoln's Marxists: Marxism in the Civil War, is a work likely to provoke second thoughts about the preconceived historical beliefs about the origins of the Republican Party, Abraham Lincoln and the War Between the States.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lincoln and America's Communist Revolution
Reviewed in the United States on May 25, 2010

This book is a good start to understanding when and how the confederated republic of the founding fathers became fundamentally changed. Read this book first but then read Abraham Lincoln and America's Communist Revolution which shows how the 1860 Republican platform was not only written by Communists such as Carl Schurz, but that the Republican party campaign banner used the Jacobin Flag on it. That book shows as well how Lincoln, from a state whose motto was State Sovereignty First, National Union second, worked to overthrow that and was , like the Jacobins who set up Jacobin clubs across France to obtain political power was having Pinkerton (whose eye and we never sleep logo was used on Republican Campaign banners and as part of the similar to jacobin secret society for war Wide Awake Republican Clubs set up by Pinkerton and Ellsworth. Ellsworth was Lincoln's choice to head a proposed Bureau of National Militia to do away with State Militias once he overturned State Sovereignty to National Sovereignty.

5.0 out of 5 stars Red Republicans and Lincoln's Marxists
Reviewed in the United States on November 5, 2009

This is a brilliant work by Walter Kennedy and Al Benson; and is on a quality level equal to the excellent works by Dr. Thomas DiLorenzo of Loyola College. Kennedy and Benson take on the subject that very few are willing to discuss: the Marxist influences upon Lincoln, his administration, and the Union Army. This is a book that will upset "The Lincoln Cult," but it is far better to know the truth than to perpetuate a myth! I am a Northern man, and it is with sadness to now believe that the election of Lincoln, was probably the greatest disaster to hit our Republic! Lincoln destroyed the Republic given to us by the founding fathers; he did not preserve it!

5.0 out of 5 stars I will never look at Republicans or the "Civil War" the same way again!

This little book was just jam packed with good information. I thought I had a good understanding of Communism. I can tell you, after reading this book, I didn't know diddly. Like all good books it leaves you with more questions. But when you frame the "Civil War" in the context which was set in this book, it makes a heck of a lot more sense. This book really opened me up to a different direction of thinking when it comes to U.S. History. I will never look at Lincoln or the Civil War...excuse me... War for Southern Independence the same way again.

I think this book in general deserves ten stars, but I only gave four because of the ignorant, unnecessary, politically correct AH bashing. Classical liberalism is the true path of Christian patriotism.

If you think you like history and truth you might want to read this book. Totally amazing what went on for the past 200 years in our country right under people's noses. Today’s far left party proves this history is correct.
Update.: I bought this for a family members birthday. I found out we have one of these 48ers in our family tree. Hope he got his thinking correct before he pasted away. He was considered a war criminal in Germany after their failed revolution so he fled to the USA.
