| Abstract | Karl Heinzen's career illustrates the crusading spirit of that minority of radical reformers who constituted part of the German immigration of the middle nineteenth century, and who added a powerful leaven of freethought and zeal for reform to a body politic still largely under the influence of early American Puritanism. Heinzen played the role of extreme republican in the German Revolution of 1848 and 1849; in his adopted fatherland he fought for 30 years for the rights of the Negro, for equal rights for women, for a truly democratic foreign policy, and for a host of other political, economic and social reforms. He edited his famous Der Pionier in the U.S. for more than a quarter century. This paper is primarily concerned with Heinzen's ambitions to achieve recognition as a poet and a playwright. |
