A few subsequent rebellions by German democratic liberals draw some popular support in 1849, but they are easily crushed and their leaders executed or imprisoned.

Some of these ardent democrats flee to the United States.

Among them is Carl Schurz, who will later fight at the Battle of Gettysburg as a Union officer, serve one term as a United States senator from Missouri, and be appointed secretary of the interior by United States president Rutherford B. Hayes.
