Thanks for reminding us TSgt Joe C. that on May 4, 1886 a peaceful labor protest in Haymarket Square in Chicago, Illinois, turned into a riot which left more than 100 wounded and 8 police officers dead. After Chicago authorities arrested and detained nearly every anarchist and socialist in town, eight men, who were either speakers in or organizers of the protest, were charged with murder. "Seven of the eight defendants received death sentences. On November 11, 1887, four of the defendants were hanged. One man, also scheduled for execution, killed himself the day before."
Early inion attempts were a mixture of legitimate grievances and desires and radicals desire for whatever.

Sad story. Chicago had a devastating fire not even 20 years before that destroyed most the city.
