U.S. Civil War
In addition to the resistance struggles around the world, I really appreciated the excerpt from George Novack's America's Revolutionary Heritage and Marx's congratulatory letter to Lincoln on his re-election in the January 31 issue. The U.S. Civil War is often misrepresented by high school and university educators and it was very eye-opening learning about the conflict as a class struggle. The article led me to order Novack's book from Pathfinder. Please continue the historical coverage of the Civil War and the equally important period of Reconstruction (and its failure).

Need coverage from prisoners
I have been receiving your paper for about five months now. I haven’t read first-hand accounts of the struggles prisoners are engaged in. I do see that you champion our struggles in here.
