1848 succeeds: absence of the 1848ers in the US

Would German reactionaries really go to the USA? Wouldn't they go to a reactionary state? How about the Russian Empire, that certainly had a lot of Germans being successful at the time and afterwards.

Yes I would think so, they would spread out if forced to leave

I can see some certainly in the Ottoman Empire, always a place to welcome able foreigners

Others would settle in Russia, maybe with cousins or townspeople who had decades ago

There are always countries welcoming able exiles - Argentina, Egypt would also be good in this timeframe

Maybe even Persia

There was at least one reactionary "48er", Metternich, and he settled in Britain. Personally, I'd look at Britain and Russia as the biggest destinations. Thande raises a good point. The emigre Richeliue (not that one...), who ended up as prime minister of France, did a stint as Governor of New Russia.
