Description

A thematic presentation of the various types of socialism, such as Communitarian, Christian, Marxist, & Anarcho-Communist, that have existed in the U.S. from the time of the Revolutionary War to 1919. The documents included demonstrate how socialism was an integral part of the American past: because its ideals were embedded in the birth of America & it authentically expressed the American egalitarian norm. The documents demonstrate that each type of socialism has a counterpart in a broadly based contemporary social movement: for ex., religious communities were linked to revivalism & millenarianism. Ultimately, the collapse of socialism in America was tied to the country’s conservative mood in the 1890s & World War I.
