US Authoritarianism

In response to someone calling me out for the information when I said very confidently, oh I have that.

here you go. I’m a guy on the internet so this isn’t comprehensive but it’s a workable overview. I don’t count anything before 1847, because I’m actively trying to argue that those are peasant revolts, and didn’t count Indian uprisings before the frontier closed either for the same reason.

Thank you for the prompt. I do quite a lot of research and I talk quite a lot of sh*t and I absolutely need to be finishing functional interpretations of things way more regularly. 

The map chopped off my descriptors, these are the: Colorado,Ludlow Massacre,1914

Washington, D.C.,District of Columbia,Bonus Army March,1932

Oxford,Mississippi,Ole Miss Riots,1962

Orangeburg,South Carolina,Orangeburg Massacre,1968

Kent,Ohio,Kent State Shootings,1970

Attica,New York,Attica Uprising,1971

With the great railroad strike of 1877 thrown in for good measure because there were dozens and that is solidly a, not-localized workers revolt

I am aware that the ole Miss riot executions were not officially carried out by the National Guard, but it was with one of them’s service weapons so it’s on the list
