Abstract: Abstract. In 1895 a group of Single Taxers—members of the ethical democratic social reform movement founded by the American Journalist, Henry George—'invaded’ Delaware in an attempt, by concentrating their efforts, to achieve a demonstration of the efficacy of their theories by putting them into practice. The campaign won adherents but it failed to win adoption of the program because the idealists were not political realists and so they were unaware that Delaware in the mid‐90s was a very unlikely place for a third‐party movement.
