Four of my grandfathers were Forty-Eighters from Germany. These revolutionaries picked up guns and fought the Confederate slave owners, in order to end slavery in America. Black slaves did not own guns. What was the penalty if they were caught with one? White foreigners pointed their rifles at other white men, and shot them dead. They went into the south and pointed their rifles at the defeated Traitors, and forced them allow freed slaves to vote. White men with guns, wanted to capture all the Confederate brass that fled to Mexico, and bring them to trial. White men with guns put guns in the hands of freed slaves, and they pointed these guns at white slave owners, and shot them dead.
