"Of course, Weydemeyer didn't take a step without the approval of Marx or Engels, so we know the support Lincoln received was from all these fellows. Weydemeyer served in the Union Army as an engineer and artillery officer and was in constant contact with his German Comrades. They discussed American politics and the war and how to effectively win the war. In letters from Engels to Weydemeyer, Engels spoke of Sherman's brilliance, and that against Sherman the South was crude in its ideas and war strategy. Not only did their correspondence back and forth concern tactics. though, but Frederich Engels was supplying Lincoln's army with cannons via Weydemeyer." <<<<<>>>>>
