KARL MARX’S CHILDHOOD
• Karl Marx’s father; Herschel Marx, was born Ashkenazi Jewish, converted from Judaism to the Protestant Christian denomination of Lutheranism to continue practicing law after a Prussian order denied Jews the bar. • Karl Marx was privately educated until 1830, when he was enrolled in the Trier High School where he studied philosophy and social science. The school was raided in 1832 by police because of the liberal humanist views taught to the students in angst of the Prussian government.

Marx accrued a great deal of debt and was injured in a duel. Heinrich Marx paid off his sons debts and insisted on his enrollment at Berlin University. • At the more conservative University of Berlin, Karl Marx’s studies improved dramatically. It was at the Berlin University that he was introduced to the philosophical writings of G. W. F. Hegel by Bruno Bauer, a outspoken atheist and political radical. Marx later becoming involved with a group of radical thinkers the Young Hegelians.
IN CONTRAST…
• ..the United States from 1820 to 1870 propagated as a consequence of two major reformations: the Second Great Awakening, resembling the religious movement of Great Awakening in the eighteenth century and the natural goodness of man; defined as transcendentalism. Religion was probably the foremost motivating influence behind shaping the method of American perception. Because of immigration, the boom-and-bust cycles of market economy, rising inequality, the increase of western settlement, and territorial expansion in the United States, Americans had difficulty keeping up with changes that were perceived as outside of one’s control. Social reform movements such as temperance, reform of penitentiaries and asylums, antimasonry, abolition and women’s rights were the results of a period of religious renewal in the United States after the War of 1812.
