Carl Schurz
(1829–1906)

See biography, media, quotes, indexes. As a student, he participated in the 1848 uprisings in Germany. His efforts obligated him to emigrate when the revolution failed, and in 1852 he settled in the United States. He was a confidante of Lincoln, U.S. Ambassador to Spain, a major-general in the Civil War, a U.S. Senator from Missouri, Secretary of the Interior in the Hayes administration, author of a biography of Henry Clay, president of the National Civil Service Reform League, and an editorial writer for Harper's Weekly. He gave many speeches and lectures and wrote prolificly. He promoted civil service reform, environmental preservation and arbitration for the settlement of international disputes. He opposed slavery, inflationary monetary strategies and U.S. imperialism.
