jacko1 - Mar, 16 2009 10:03pm I am trying to find a reference to this man, was this the German revolution? Petra. jacko1 - Mar, 16 2009 10:03pm I have done a lttle research and have come to the initial conclusion that here was a man that we could do with in the world today, an outspoken firm believer in justice for all, unlike the rotten toe rags that are our present "world leaders". pesu - Mar, 16 2009 10:03pm Tony, try this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carl_Schurz. It's difficult to speak of the 'German' revolution because Germany didn't yet exist then. There was a revolutionary movement in some German states, e.g. here, where I live, in Baden. Primer aims were: freedom of assembly and of the press and the institution of a national German parliament. jacko1 - Mar, 16 2009 10:03pm i have already done this Petra and more, hence my previous comment. It seems like he was a helluva good guy.
