Open publisher page 1 citations

Abstract

This chapter discusses the American Federation of Labor (AFL) during World War I, the period when Samuel Gompers, along with the members and leaders of the AFL, were led to rethink their civil liberties commitments. Since its founding, the AFL had promoted unionism, not patriotism. However, with the rise of hyper-Americanism, it embraced pro-American patriotism and became an agency of Americanization.
