Thomas Skidmore (reformer)
Thomas Skidmore (August 13, 1790 - August 7, 1832) was an American political reformer and philosopher; he was the leader and co-founder of the New York City Working Men's Party when it first emerged in the fall of 1829. He was also the author of an ambitious and controversial political treatise, ''The Rights of Man to Property!,'' first published in 1829.
== Life ==
Skidmore was born in 1790 in rural Connecticut, in the town of Newton. He became a schoolteacher at the precocious age of thirteen, before moving to Wilmington, Delaware, and then Philadelphia, to try his hand as an amateur inventor. He moved to New York City in 1819, where he worked as a machinist and become involved in labor politics. In 1829, he emerged as an important public figure at the center of the nascent New York City Working Men's Party, which fought for a ten-hour working day, the abolition of debtors' prison, universal public education, and expanded political suffrage, among other things. He was forced out of the party in December 1829, largely because other labor leaders considered his ideas too radical. He died August 7, 1832, during the cholera epidemic that swept through the city in that year.
