General Schurz fought with the revolutionary army against Prussia during the Year of Revolution of 1848. He along with many other Germans, called Forty-Eighters, escaped to American. The Forty-Eighters, given what they fled from, saw the preservation of the Union as a strike for freedom for both their new home and their old home. The Confederacy represented everything they detested: slavery and aristocratic privilege.
