Enlisting memory in a new fight for freedom From the Gilded Age
through the Progressive era, labor movements reinterpreted Abraham
Lincoln as a liberator of working people while workers equated
activism with their own service fighting for freedom during the
war. Matthew E. Stanley explores the wide-ranging meanings and
diverse imagery used by Civil War veterans within the sprawling
radical politics of the time. As he shows, a rich world of rituals,
songs, speeches, and newspapers emerged among the many strains of
working class cultural politics within the labor movement. Yet
tensions arose even among allies. Some people rooted Civil War
commemoration in nationalism and reform, and in time, these
conservative currents marginalized radical workers who tied their
remembering to revolution, internationalism, and socialism. An
original consideration of meaning and memory, Grand Army of Labor
reveals the complex ways workers drew on themes of emancipation and
equality in the long battle for workers’ rights.
