| Abstract | Joseph Arnold Weydemeyer (February 2, 1818 – August 26, 1866) was a military officer in the Kingdom of Prussia and the United States, serving in the Union Army during the American Civil War. Weydemeyer was also a journalist, politician, and Marxist opponent of the exploitation of the laboring class. In 1851, he emigrated from Germany to the United States. In New York he founded Die Revolution, a German language newspaper focused on class struggles in the Old World, and wrote articles for the Turn-Zeitung concerning labor issues in America. Weydemeyer and his family also lived in Milwaukee, Wisconsin; Chicago, Illinois; and St. Louis, Missouri. |
