      Even Marx got duped back then. Remember the enthusiastic letter he wrote to Lincoln? It was in the precise moment between the war getting decided and 13 amendment.

        Well Marx lived in a different era, when capitalism was still cracking the remains of old feudal system

          Yes, nobody blame him, just pointing out that even back then US was a duplicious shit country with excellent propaganda.
