Hello. I'm looking for information on the Haymarket Square Riot. I've been reading things on the websites I look at, but none of them state just how long the riot lasted. Please help me.

At around 10.30pm, on May 4 1886 police decided to disperse what was until then a peaceful rally.
A bomb was thrown, killing a police officer. Police allegedly began firing into the crowd. The ensuing riot, which saw 60 police and an unknown number of civilians killed or injured, lasted only a few minutes.

A People's History of the United States by Howard Zinn has an excellent analysis of this event (as well as many other eye-openers). You can pick up a copy at Amazon for less than $5.

Less than an hour I think. It was a very intense but brief riot between cops and strikers.

I received't insurrection. i visit in basic terms suck it up like I were doing for the ultimate 8 years. i don't think of Obama will be elected any way, and so I anticipate him to lose. unfavourable expections help me brace for the loss it really is going to take position. I have desire that he will win, yet i'm sensible to charm to close that he received't be elected.
