摘要
摘要:1948年4月,进步党总统候选人亨利·华莱士抵达印第安纳州,引起了很大的争议。这个保守的州不欢迎华莱士,退伍军人组织积极组织破坏他的演讲。4月6日,在进步党埃文斯维尔的竞选活动上,一群暴徒袭击了华莱士的支持者,造成多人受伤,并将这个与世隔绝的小镇推到了全国的聚光灯下。暴乱发生后,一名当地教授因参与华莱士的竞选活动而被解雇,激进的CIO local 813成为美国众议院委员会听证会的主题。反共产主义的歇斯底里笼罩着埃文斯维尔社区。4月6日在埃文斯维尔发生的事情,是由退伍军人组织推动的反共产主义的美国民粹主义法西斯主义的一部分。虽然国家政治家主导了反共历史,但在20世纪40年代和50年代,一些最大的破坏发生在其他美国人,特别是退伍军人团体,侵犯了他们同胞的宪法权利。
ABSTRACT: In April 1948, Progressive Party presidential candidate Henry A. Wallace arrived in Indiana to much controversy. The conservative state did not welcome Wallace, and veterans’ organizations actively organized to disrupt his speaking engagements. On April 6, at the Progressive Party’s Evansville campaign event, a mob attacked Wallace supporters, causing injuries and pushing the isolated town into the national spotlight. In the wake of the riot, a local professor was fired for his involvement in the Wallace campaign, and the radical CIO Local 813 became the subject of U. S. House committee hearings. Anticommunist hysteria gripped the Evansville community. What happened in Evansville on April 6 was part of a populist fascism in the United States propelled by anti-communism and enacted by veterans’ organizations. While national politicians dominate histories of anti-communism, some of the greatest damage done during the 1940s and 1950s occurred when other Americans, specifically veterans’ groups, violated the constitutional rights of their fellow citizens.
