| Abstract | Following the life of Friedrich Hecker, this essay concentrates on his transformation from a German Republikaner into an American republican. In doing so it demonstrates that in fact there were far more and even deeper similarities between the ideas of German radicalism in 1848 and the ideology of the early Republican party in the 1850s. In order to emphasize these similarities and continuities the discussion is divided into two parts; part one presents some influences on Hecker's political development in Germany; part two pursues his initial steps in American politics during the Republican Party's first presidential campaign in 1856. |
