| Abstract | Victor Berger, a socialist leader, was born in Austria. He assumed leadership of the fight for an agricultural plank in the Socialist national platform. Against great odds and despite skepticism from party revolutionists, a rural, small-town Socialist movement had assumed substantial proportions in Wisconsin. Under the stimulus of war and domestic repression, a German ethnic movement emerged in the central Wisconsin heartland and lakeshore extension of das Deutschtum. The Milwaukee base was critical to this expansion, for without the stability it provided, a struggling radicalism would have lacked the resources and talent to challenge the political establishment. The Milwaukee connection became the lifeline to the out-state Socialists, their comfort in a hostile environment. |
