DESCRIPTION: The Junior Order of United American Mechanics was founded in 1853 as a fraternal and political secret society for American citizens of both sexes. Insurance was added later. The Union of Workers was founded in Philadelphia in 1845 by a group of working men; their aims were to stop imigration, especially Caltholic immigration, and to provide the usual mid-19th-century benefits of a sick fund and a funeral fund. Membership was open only to native-born white Americans who professed belief in a supreme being, supported the separation of church and state, and were not engaged in the liquor trade.
