Best Answer

A radical is a person who favors extreme change and is willing to use extreme actions, even violence, to bring about those changes. The Haymarket Riot caused many people to think that union members were radicals. In 1886 union members met at a place called the Haymarket Square in Chicago. Some of the speakers were anarchists. Just as the meeting was ending, someone then threw a bomb into a group of policemen killing or wounding several of them. The police then opened fire. By the time the riot was over, 50 people were injured and another 10 died of their wounds. Many people blamed the riot on union radicals even though there was no evidence that they were responsible for the bomb blast. Public support for unions dropped sharply after the riot.
