Members of the American League of Philadelphia

Established as a regional League to the American Anti-Imperialist League

The American League of Philadelphia was one of the most radical and reform minded organizations of anti-imperialists. The founder, Frank Stephens openly rooted for the Filipino insurrectionists to defeat the American army. Several women were radical members belonging to socialist groups and revolutionary labor unions. Herbert Welsh among several others were involved in Philadelphia reform movements from taxation to slaughterhouses. With all the radical elements, the executive committee appointed George Mercer, a moderate Democrat, as president of the League.
