Green Corn Rebellion
The Green Corn Rebellion was an armed uprising that took place in rural Oklahoma on August 2 and 3, 1917. The uprising was a reaction by radicalized European-Americans, tenant farmers, Seminoles, Muscogee Creeks and African-Americans to an attempt to enforce the Selective Draft Act of 1917〔Chang 187〕 and was so-called due to the purported plans of the rebels to march across the country, eating "green corn" on the way for sustenance.〔Sellars, Nigel Anthony. ("Green Corn Rebellion," ) ''Encyclopedia of Oklahoma History and Culture.'' Accessed March 1, 2015.〕 Betrayed by an informer in their midst, the country rebels met with a well-armed posse of townsmen, with whom shots were exchanged and three people killed. In the aftermath of the incident, scores of arrests were made and the Socialist Party of America, formerly strong in the region, was discredited in the public eye for allegedly having attempted to foment revolution. The incident was also used as a pretext for national reprisals against the Industrial Workers of the World.
