What was schurz and his fellow students response to word of the french revolt?

When a friend of Shurz told him in 1848 that “the French have deposed Louis Philippe and proclaimed the republic.”, he said to his fellow students that it had arrived the day in Germany for the creation of “German Unity,” and the founding of a great, powerful national German Empire that offered its people liberty, the right of free assembly, equality before the law, among other liberties to form a constitutional government base on democracy.

Carl Schurz. Schurz (1829-1906) wrote his memories about the revolution of France in a paper kwon as “Reminiscences of Carl Schurz".  

After the failure of the German revolution, he traveled to the U.S. and became a Senator.
