Summary

On May 4, 1886, a peaceful labor protest in Chicago turned deadly when a bomb exploded, killing a police officer and setting off an exchange of gunfire that killed six more. Eight men, all anarchists, were arrested and charged with murder. The identity of the bomb thrower, however, was never determined. Should the jury find the accused anarchists guilty or not guilty?

This eBook examines the history of the incident and trial and delves into the pro and con arguments that surrounded them. It includes a timeline, primary sources, a "Learn More About" chapter with more information on the topic, and a "What If?" chapter speculating on what might have happened had the jury reached a different verdict.
