This news item recalled to me, I don't know why, Lincoln's letter, of January 19, 1863, "to the workingmen of Manchester", apparently in response to support given to the union cause by Marx and the IWMA.
Although I don't recommend anyone joining the LaRouche movement, the late W. Allen Salisbury, a black scholar and member of that organization, wrote a useful book on some history and on issues, joined in the Civil War.
As some of you may know, the Confederacy had favored free trade, and Lincoln was a protectionist.
See also my note "On Waiting For A Trade Policy", a propos a NYT article that day, below.
