Sebastian Seiler

Sebastian Seiler was born in Germany in 1810.[1] He was an associate of Wilhelm Weitling, a Swiss reformer.[2][3] He was a journalist on the Rheinische Zeitung and a member of the Brussels Communist Correspondence Committee in 1846.[1] Seiler was "a stenographer to the French National Assembly in 1848 and 1849."[4] He joined the Communist League and took part in the 1848-1849 revolution in Germany. Following the suppression of that revolution, Seiler escaped to London, England in the 1850s. From 1859-1860 he was the editor of the Deutsche Zeitung,[5] and he started a weekly paper in 1860, The New Orleans Journal.[3] Seiler later worked for Negro suffrage.[5] He died in 1890.[6]
