All, just an idea I've been batting around.
Karl Marx was largely run out of Germany and then settled in London in 1849 with a large number of Germancommunists. I believe they were watched by the British as well due to supporting revolutionary movements. What if Britain kicked them out and Marx moved to the American south (maybe New Orleans or Texas as that state had a large amount of Germans)?
He was an ardent opponent of slavery. Could he turn into a western John Brown? A leader in "Bleeding Kansas"?
I would think his overall Communist theories would become secondary in the fight against slavery in the United States.
By all means, give me some ideas and feedback.
