American Independence Union
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The American Independence Union was formed at a one-day conference of 58 civic leaders which was called by Richard Bartholdt[1], a U.S. Representative from Missouri, and which was held at the New Willard Hotel in Washington on January 30, 1915[2]. Its purpose was to agitate for strict US adherence to the principles of neutrality in World War I. Bartholdt was elected its president.
