Interesting. Thanks for posting.
Note that Horace Greeley (”Go West, young man”) was one of the principle founders of the Republican Party, and supported the Civil War and Radical Reconstruction.
A few of Marx’ writings on the US Civil War can be read at:

And it would have been more fitting if journalists competed today for the Karl Marx Prize instead of the Pulitzer.
If he was around today, CNN would have him as their “conservative” commentator for balance!
Interesting.
FYI: It is well known that Marx only wrote some of the articles he submitted. His English was so bad that Engles, who had gotten the job for him in the first place, had to write many of them for him.
