Wildcats: Wildcatters in which a style of accumulation called “wildcat banking,” is used to displace and exterminate both indigenous nations and lynx, bobcats, and cougars as the fractious United States expands west; and in which Southern plantation owners employ the “cat-hawl” to torture their slaves and maintain their power; Marx analyzes the American Civil War in a series of letters to his uncle, Lion Phillips.
