Шаблон:Infobox political party Шаблон:Socialism US The American Workers League (Шаблон:Lang-de) was an American nineteenth century workers political organization.

In 1852, Joseph Weydemeyer, a longtime friend of Karl Marx, created the Шаблон:Lang (Proletarian League).[1]

In 1853, the Proletarian League was expanded into the American Workers League, with Weydemeyer among their leaders,[2][3] by 800 German American delegates who attended the inaugural meeting in the Mechanics Hall in New York City.[1]

The organization adopted an egalitarian membership policy holding that all workers who live in the United States without distinction of occupation, language, color, or sex can become members.[2] They opposed the Kansas–Nebraska Act because it had the effect of allowing slavery in the lands opening up in the American West.[3]

In 1855, Weydemeyer left the leadership of the organization, which had been fading away. He would later join the New York Communist Club.[1]
