Workers League Project in Rio Grande do Sul in the early Republic

In the early years of the republic, the gatherings of workers, in Rio Grande do Sul, tried to organize to manage to intervene in national and state politics, through Workers Leagues with a proposition to form a workers party with electoral expression. This project was taken on mainly by leaderships in the three main cities in the state, Porto Alegre, Pelotas and Rio Grande. However they were not able to overcome the obstacles in their path, mostly organizational ones, they suffered also effects of parties polarization and eventually from the civil war that devastated the state. With the failure of such project, both politically and organizationally, it also closed all possibilities for an independent participation of workers in the states political scene, after the period studied.
