  2. Address of the International Working Men's Association to Abraham Lincoln, President of the United States of America
    Resource Type: Article
    First Published: 1865
    The workingmen of Europe feel sure that, as the American War of Independence initiated a new era of ascendancy for the middle class, so the American Antislavery War will do for the working classes. They consider it an earnest of the epoch to come that it fell to the lot of Abraham Lincoln, the single-minded son of the working class, to lead his country through the matchless struggle for the rescue of an enchained race and the reconstruction of a social world.
  3. American Civil War
    Connexipedia Article
    Resource Type: Article
    Also known as the War Between the States and several other names, this was a civil war in the United States of America in which eleven Southern slave states declared their secession from the United States.
  4. Gaza: What Would Lincoln Do?
    Sasha, Malia: Tell Your Parents About Sara al-Dalou!
    Resource Type: Article
    First Published: 2012
    The point of invoking Lincoln is not to guess what he might do in Obama’s shoes, but to reflect on what he did when forced to balance political calculus, the rule of law, and moral and humanitarian considerations.
  5. Karl Marx's Theory of Revolution
    Volume 5: War & Revolution
    Resource Type: Book
    First Published: 2005
    The subject of this volume is Marx and Engels' views on the relation between war and revolution. Its thesis is that, over the course of decades, their views on this question changed -- evolved is a better word -- although, in this case as in others, they wrote no definitive statement of their views. Instead, we have a considerable corpus of ad hoc responses to the events of the hour, many of them politically explosive, from which we have to reconstruct, not a line, but an approach. To complicate things further, many of these crises, while they were the news of the day at the time, have since faded from memory.
  6. Lincoln: A Review
    Civil War, Not Compromise, Smashed Slavery
    Resource Type: Article
    First Published: 2013
    Lincoln—Steven Spielberg’s new movie reduces the abolition of slavery to so many parliamentary maneuvers.

  9. Marx at the Margins 
    On Nationalism, Ethnicity, and Non-Western Societies
    Resource Type: Book
    First Published: 2010   Published: 2016
    Marx’s critique of capital was far broader than is usually supposed. To be sure, he concentrated on the labor-capital relation within Western Europe and North America. But at the same time, he expended considerable time and energy on the analysis of non-Western societies, as well as race, ethnicity, and nationalism.
  10. A Marxist History of the World part 57: The American Civil War
    Resource Type: Article
    First Published: 2012
    One hundred and fifty years ago North America saw the start of a revolutionary war fought between rival systems and opposing political ideologies. Neil Faulkner looks at The American Civil War.
  11. 150 Years Since the Emancipation Proclamation
    Finish the Civil War!
    Resource Type: Article
    First Published: 2013
    The Emancipation Proclamation was a pledge, a promise. It only freed slaves in areas that were not yet controlled by Union armies, true enough. But in that sense it was like the Declaration of Independence in 1776, which didn’t make any of the colonies free—it took a victorious war to free the colonies from British rule. The Emancipation Proclamation bound the defense of the Union to the destruction of slavery.
  12. Radical Democracy

  14. The War of Northern Aggression
    Resource Type: Article
    First Published: 2012
    A leading Civil War historian challenges the new orthodoxy about how slavery ended in America.

Mission Connexions exists to support individuals and groups working for freedom and social justice. We work to maintain and make available a record of the theory and practice of people struggling against oppression and for social change. We believe that the more we know about the struggles, victories, and defeats of the past, and about those who took part in them, the better equipped we will be to bring a new world into being. Connexions maintains a physical archive of books and documents, and is engaged in an ongoing project to build and expand an indexed digital archive of documents. We try to feature a wide variety of resources reflecting a diversity of viewpoints and approaches to social change within our overall mandate of support for democracy, civil liberties, freedom of expression, universal human rights, secularism, equality, economic justice, environmental responsibility, and the creation and preservation of community. We are internationalist in our orientation, but as a Canadian-based project we feature an especially extensive collection of Canadian documents and profiles of Canadian activist organizations.
