Political corruption permeated American society as those corporate entities grew and spread across the country, leaving bribery and exploitation in their wake. This alliance between corporate America and the political class came to a screeching halt during the Great Railroad Strike of 1877, when the U.S. workers in the railroad, mining, canal, and manufacturing industries called a general strike against monopoly capitalism and brought the country to an economic standstill. In The St. Louis Commune of 1877 Mark Kruger tells the riveting story of how workers assumed political control in St. Louis, Missouri. Kruger examines the roots of the St. Louis Commune-focusing on the 1848 German revolution, the Paris Commune, and the First International. Not only was 1877 the first instance of a general strike in U.S. history; it was also the first time workers took control of a major American city and the first time a city was ruled by a communist party"-- $c Provided by publisher. 610 20 $a Workingmen's Party of the United States $x History. 610 20 $a International Workingmen's Association (1864-1876) 610 27 $a International Workingmen's Association (1864-1876) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01757580 610 27 $a Workingmen's Party of the United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00583916 650 0 $a General Strike, Saint Louis, Mo., 1877. 650 0 $a Working class $z Saint Louis $z Saint Louis $x Economic conditions. 650 0 $a Socialism $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Forty-Eighters (American immigrants) $z Saint Louis. $z Saint Louis. 650 7 $a POLITICAL SCIENCE / Political Ideologies / Communism, Post-Communism & Socialism. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a HISTORY / United States / State & Local / Midwest (IA, IL, IN, KS, MI, MN, MO, ND, NE, OH, SD, WI) $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Economic history. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00901974 650 7 $a Forty-Eighters (American immigrants) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00933104 650 7 $a Socialism. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01123637 651 7 $a Missouri $z Saint Louis. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204930 648 7 $a 1800-1899 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20230517011713.0 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20220804024702.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=7E368ED88FC011ECBA4AA6A62FECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
