*****   The Civil War's Last Campaign:
James B. Weaver, the Greenback-Labor Party, and the Politics of Race
and Section
by Mark A. Lause, University of Cincinnati

In the presidential election of 1880, Gen. James Baird Weaver made
his case for the meaning of their victory in Civil War. Aside from
the earlier Republicans, his Greenback-Labor Party represented
proportionately the largest third party movement in American history,
but its national standing required a vigorous national campaign for
the White House. When nominated, he became the first candidate in
American history to campaign actively on his own behalf.

The campaign briefly united the efforts of thousands of farmers,
workers, women, and African-Americans protesting their betrayal by
the Republicans who had ended Reconstruction. Insurgents included
moderate liberals disgusted by the corruption of the two-party
system, militant socialists, advocates of environmental awareness,
vegetarians and spritualists. The 1880 GLP campaign included
abolitionists, socialists, land reformers, suffragists and others
along with many later active as Populists, Progressives,
Nationalists, Social Democrats, anarchists, etc. whose work continued
well into the twentieth century.
