This book contains new and fascinating insights into the cast of characters who created a homegrown American socialist movement through the nineteenth century - from Thomas Paine's revolution to Robert Owen's utopianism, from James Macune Smith, the black founder of organised socialism in the US, to Susan B. Anthony, the often overlooked women's rights activist. It also considers the persistent pre-capitalist model of the Native American. Long Road to Harpers Ferry captures the spirit of the times, showing how class solidarity and consciousness became more important to a generation of workers than notions of American citizenship. This is a story that's been hidden from official histories, which must be remembered if we are to harness the latent power of socialism in the United States today. 517 $aLong Road to Harpers Ferry 606 $aHistory / Americas (North, Central, South, West Indies)$2bisacsh 606 $aHistory 607 $aUnited States$xPolitics and government 615 7$aHistory / Americas (North, Central, South, West Indies) 615 0$aHistory 676 $a973.932 700 $aLause$b Mark A.$0855132 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910633951903321 996 $aLong road to Harper's Ferry$92250960 997 $aUNINA
