Title

Haymarket Affair
Subject
The topic of the resource
Domestic violence.
Description
An account of the resource
Violent confrontation between Chicago police, anarchists, laborers, and labor activists on May 4, 1886 at which 19 people died and over 60 were wounded. Began with a rally from 7:30PM-about 10:30PM. At that point, numerous police officers arrived and ordered the crowds to disperse. A bomb was thrown into the police and killed several officers creating chaos. No one is quite sure who actually threw the bomb, but Louis Lingg, was accused of constructing it and later convicted for his part. Differing sources report different specific events, but violence erupted and police began emptying their revolvers into the crowd of mixed protester and police, killing and wounding laborers and police alike. The aftermath led to the trial of 8 and execution of 4 anarchists and labor activists and divided public opinion on the fairness of the trial and the acceptance of labor unions. The labor activists executed on November 11, 1887 were August Spies, Albert Parsons, and Samuel Fielden who were arrested for speaking at the rally. Adolph Fischer was executed but only attended the event. Louis Lingg, the alleged bomb-maker, was sentenced to death but committed suicide before his execution.

Labor Activist
Biographical Text
Socialsit, anarchist, labor activist during the Progessive Era in Chicago. Served in the Confederate Army for Texas before becoming Republican in support of increased rights for the formerly enslaved. Married Lucy Parsons and moved to Chicago where he became an instrumental part in the growing union and labor movement towards better working conditions, specifically the 8 hour workday. Noted orator, organizer, and publisher, ultimately blamed in the aftermath of the Haymarket Affair (May 4, 1886) due to an outpouring of anti-anarchist, anti-union sentiment and executed for conspiracy. Likely could have had his sentence commuted but refused to write the governor so as to not get the appearance of admitting guilt. Buried in Forrest Home Cemetery in Chicago.
