Description
Heading: (Greenback Labor Party)
Author: Baker, E.D.
Title: Shall We Surrender? Is There any Danger! / Let Every National Be on Guard?
Place Published: Norwich, N.Y.
Publisher:
Date Published: 1883
Description: Printed broadside. 12x10". November 3, 1883.Printed in the ninth year of the Greenback Labor Party, a significant third party of American politics. The Party's focus was the "Anti-monopoly Movement...against corporations", advocating Greenback paper money over gold bullion, thought to be most favorable to the laboring classes who were reduced to slavery by the rich.The Party ran its third and last presidential campaign, with former Civil War General Benjamin ("Beast") Butler as its standard-bearer. The broadside does not mention General Butler, not yet nominated as the Party's presidential candidate - perhaps because Butler was still odiously remembered in the South for his wartime order, while commanding Union troops in New Orleans, that any Southern woman who disrespected the Stars and Stripes should be treated as nothing more than a prostitute.
