I've altered the name of the march. It was not the Commonwealth of Christ. It was the Commonweal in Christ. 150.134.67.33 16:47, 14 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

They got scared when people got arrested from walking on a lawn? ...It's more like Pussy's Army

I added the redirect from Cox's Army . I also want to add the following, but I know of no research on the history of the phrase:
-- section marker -- Linguistic Note
As of the 1970's "enough food to feed Coxey's Army" and other derivative phrases such as "that's enough to feed Cox's Army" had become opaque in at least Tulsa, OK, USA. That is, users of the phrase understood its meaning, but could not identify who or what Cox or Coxey was. (Source: personal experience) --Mossymosquito 26 Aug, 2005
-- The entire first paragraph was cut off for some reason; I went on Answers.com and got the original text from their Wikipedia source because for some reason they have the full version. I hyperlinked the words as well.
This article was automatically assessed because at least one WikiProject had rated the article as start, and the rating on other projects was brought up to start class. BetacommandBot 15:18, 9 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
The economy just wasn't as strong in the 1890s as the 1930s. There were no charitable institutions that could take up the slack and no local government ones either. When the local government had problems (and they did) all small gifts of food or clothing stopped. People literally starved to death, which they seldom did during the "Great" Depression. There were charities/soup kitchens then that took up the slack. So this was not only the worst depression up to that time, it was the worst depression ever. I think Samuel Eliot Morrison makes that point someplace bu \t I don't have the reference, Student7 (talk) 12:48, 18 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
This article has repeatedly been vandalized by idiots anonymous IP vandals; more than a dozen times in the past year and six times today alone from someone in San Bernardino, CA. Consequently, I'm requesting it be semi-protected. Occam's Shaver (talk) 06:51, 9 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
