Is it possible that between 1865 and 1880 that a Marxist movement could take root in the former Confederate States? Or is this completely unlikely? What would it take to have a Socialist Party with origins and support in the South?
It seems to me that the ideas of Socialism and Marxism were more easy to swallow in the USA before the Russian Revolution in 1917 and the Red Scare after that. Am I wrong in this?
