	Marching on Washington: CHAPTER ONE
		Coxey’s new focus on his right to speak shows how the experience of the long walk to Washington, the attacks on him and his supporters, and the disparagement of their political goals had shifted his attention from legislative changes to some basic premises about how American citizens could participate in national politics.
		Coxey and Browne never gave up on their fantasy of transforming the American political system with their "petition in boots." Despite the failure of their protest to win their political demands, both men continued to believe that marches on Washington belonged in the political repertoire and were constitutionally protected.
		Coxey’s Army had established unquestionably that political protest in Washington was possible under certain conditions and that it would attract considerable attention from both Congress and the press.

		He wanted to bring the plight of the unemployed to the attention of the nation's leaders in Washington, D.C., so he organized a march from Ohio to the nation's capital and eventually had some 500 followers join him.
