Abstract
This chapter investigates the attempts of the Socialist Labor Party (SLP) to reach and organize African American workers in the South. By focusing on cases studies such as New Orleans, St. Louis and Cincinnati, and key leaders of the party, such as Peter H. Clark and Albert R. Parsons, this chapter establishes the importance of analyzing the history of Gilded Age American socialism on a local level. Using this approach, it is possible to conclude that not only did the SLP face insurmountable problems given by the lack of party sections in the South, but that this deficiency provoked serious shortcomings in socialist understandings of the reality of post-Reconstruction African Americans. Finally, this chapter discusses the failed attempt of the SLP to join the Greenback-Labor Party at the election of 1880 and the move of several socialists towards the anarchist movement.
