Kossuth in America

The March 2012 word search is dedicated to the memory of Magyar patriot, Lajos Kossuth. He lived for 9 I years and spent much of his time in forced exile. He could have easily led a life of comparative luxury and comfort, but chose to fight for the freedom of his fellow Hungarians. He was an extraordinary orator in not only Magyar but also English. Kossuth taught himself to speak Shakespearian style while serving a three-year prison term for publishing the minutes to the meetings of the Diet. During his incarceration, Kossuth had access to only an English version of the Bible and copies of plays by William Shakespeare.

Kossuth arrived in America on the USS Humboldt on Dec. 4, 1851, from Turkey at age 45. He was a White House guest of President Millard Fillmore, spoke to both the Senate and House of Representatives, and made over 500 official speeches and countless impromptu oratorical presentations. He was named as a “Champion of Liberty,” by the press.

Kossuth left America in early July 1852 very disappointed and emotionally drained. He was popular among common folk and social set alike, but was disdained by the political and monetary power brokers.

His visit was about 10 years prior to America’s Civil War.

The battle lines over abolition were already drawn. It was only a matter time before the war would start. Kossuth made the discretionary blunder on his trip to America of remaining neutral on the abolition of slavery. This gave both sides of the emancipation issue the necessary fodder to ignore Kossuth’s request for fiscal and international political support.

In retrospect, if Kossuth only would have taken the side of the Union, he more than likely would have gained much needed support for his endeavors. Ironically, two nephews of Kossuth fought and died as cavalry officers for the Union Army.

In honor of “America’s Guest,” Lajos Kossuth, I present you this word search for March 2012. During his eight-month visit to the United States of America, Kossuth visited a total of 17 states and the District of Columbia. The 17 word search clues include the names of many of the states that Kossuth visited.

Good Luck!
