How is Eugene V. Debs, one of the most influential Americans in the 20th century?
There is so much information out there. I'm just in need of the factual information about why/how he's influential. ASAP thanks!
Debs was originally a railroad union organizer in the late 19th century but got into politics in the 1896 presidential election. He formed his own Socialist Party in 1900 and ran five times for President on its ticket, getting over 1 million votes in 1920.
His major contribution was getting unions involved in the political process. By the 1920s, Debs and others had made trade unions such a powerful political force that the Democratic Party absorbed most of their issues into the Party platform.
Debs was seen by many as a wild radical, but he actually walked away from the radical excesses of the Wobblies (IWW), whom he helped found.
