    The 1848 wave of revolutions were often nationalistic in nature and basically had similar goals as earlier French revolution against the feudal vestiges that still remained or had been reinstated after the defeat of Napoleon, they had very little to do with Marx or Engels that were very minor players at the time, the revolutionaries were middle class (bourgeois) not proletarian, and would have been mostly horrified by Marx's extremism. The French one, actually got rid of the last dynastic king so could be called a success. The first (failed) revolution that can be truly said to be inspired by the duo is the French comune of 1871, so was quite a lot later and after the US civil war.

    Funny how you roll over and give a pass to Present writers that support your position - Awww, he made a simple mistake...But are so quick to dismiss primary sources for that same stated reason.

    Bias much...
