Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the working-class response to the American Civil War, focusing on how the English working class supported the Union cause. Against their own economic self-interest and facing deprivation and starvation, English workers rejected the anti-Union pressures of their ruling class and instead championed Northern victory and the end of slavery. The author sets their efforts within the context of the international solidarity of labor, tracing the origins of the workers' political consciousness to the revolutionary struggles of the 1840s. Full of little-known history, the book sheds light on the international significance of the Civil War and shows how workers can change history when they act collectively. It is essential reading for anyone interested in labor history, the history of antislavery, and the enduring international connections among working people.
