August Spies

who were arrested, tried, and convicted. The police made hundreds of arrests. Three months later after the incident, seven anarchists were held for trial and were convicted of murder and were sentenced to be hanged. Albert Parsons, one of the anarchist labor leaders, responded in defense after his sentence had been passed that, “Now, your Honor, I hold that our execution, as the matter stands now, would be judicial murder” (Green p. 235). With seven dead policemen, seven dead union workers, seven accused revolutionists, these groups according to Green were, “a haunting triangle of death.” (Green p. 191) On November 11, 1887, Albert Parsons, August Spies, George Engel and Adolph Fischer the four of the seven anarchists were hanged on the gallows by the state of Illinois, despite worldwide protests. As they were to be executed, August Spies cried out: “The time will come when our silence will be more powerful than the voices you strangle today”; George Engel shouted in German, “Hurray for Anarchy!”; and Adolph Fischer said, “This is the happiest day of my life” (Green p. 270). Albert Parsons began “May I be allowed to speak?… Harken to the voice of the people”… before the trap door was sprung and his speech cut off (Green p. 270). I personally do not agree with the verdict for the Haymarket defendants. I believe that the sentencing was very biased. Who’s better to blame for the death of police officials then the leaders of union and reformer groups. I feel as if the state…

The jury was made up of businessmen, clerks and relatives of the deceased policemen. One witness of the bomb being thrown said he saw Spies light the fuse of the bomb and threw it at police, while another said that he was just lighting his pipe (Salt Lake Herald). August 20, 1886 the jury decided that seven out of the eight men would get the death penalty, while the Neebe, the last one of the tried men, got life in jail. The government didn’t allow for freedom of speech, freedom of press,…

August Spies was one of the “anarchists, foreign born-Germany” that was involved in the “Haymarket Affair” (Source). August Spies was a man raised in Germany who had ambitions to create a better world no matter where he was (Source). It just so happened that the “New World” was a place he ended up and wanted to help change to be better (Source). During his autobiography, he expresses in great detail on how he was raised, and how he looks at life, living in Germany, and living in the New World…

In particular, “Semplica-Girl Diaries.” By George Saunder, is an example of narrative revealed to us over time. What can be initially taken as just a short parable of self-doubt and reflection, coveys a set of deeper themes, that not only go along to flesh out elements of the story, but also coincide with the devolvement of our main character, or rather the devolvement of our understanding of this character. The unit in general allowed me to see more of the fundamental differences between that…

entertained than gaining cultural knowledge. As a case study, it would be interesting to determine how much of an impact these productions have had on the existing Arab perception. Spy thrillers try to portray the main characters as heroes who will combat evil and prevail national security. However, these shows also have a huge fault in portraying a false image of Arabs and their real intentions. It is very common to hear people saying not to believe anything in the news because they are all…

I slowly walked into Khleo’s office which seemed weird and felt very old fashioned at the same time. Kind of surprised me though because from what I had heard about Khleo he didn’t seem like a well-organized type of person. I guess it’s sad to say that I felt a little nervous walking into gang territory even though I am a police officer but the truth is I’m not immortal I bleed the same way everyone else does. Though at the same time I felt that Khleo and his guys wouldn’t harm me anyway. I was…

and that puts her entire game at risk. She 's already in the minority of numbers and her targets in the game woul likely be Nicole, who is aware of this. 11. Da 'vonne - Day has played the most dangerous game of anyone in the past few days. She continues to target Frank, make-up lies and goes around throwing her own allies under the bus. I am stunned that she has not learned how to keep quiet when you are completely safe. She was a locked juror member, but now she may be an early boot again if…

In the (Karen Olsson, 606) it states that Wal-Mart is a frenetic, fast-paced, environment and it seems, there simply aren’t enough people around to get the job done. On a given shift McLaughlin might man a register, hop a mechanical lift to retrieve something, from a high shelf, catch fish from a tank, run over to another department to help locate an item, restock the shelves, dust off the bike racks, or field questions about potting soil and lawn mowers. In other words, employers in her…

courage and patriotism of some of the most unrecognized and underappreciated figures in American history. The Culper Spy Ring epitomized espionage during the American Revolution by providing detailed insider information from behind enemy lines. Under the nose of the British, one of the most superlative members of the Culper Spy Ring was Anna Smith Strong, who was the vital communication link for Abraham Woodhull to provide information on British activities to Caleb Brewster, who then reported to…
