The movement inspired the idea within Americans that society should be focused of equality, honest labor, and virtuous citizenship. The movement, backed by the National Trade Union's 300,000 workers, was powered by about 168 strikes over wages and work hours from 1834-1836.Though failing in the time period mentioned in the book, the movement successfully inspired other groups and movements like the Knights of Labor and the American Confederation of Labor to make similar moves towards working class equality.

Commerford was a major leader of the National Trades Movement, the first labor movement in the United States in the 1830s that sought to unify unions on the national level. He also headed the General Trades’ Union in New York City, which brought together unions of skilled workers. Commmerford stressed education as a necessity for empowering workers, which could allow workers to learn the truth about the economic and political system so they could make significant reforms to stress their needs.
