Thanks Steven. Here's an online copy of 'The Many-Headed Hydra' for those interested (https://files.libcom.org/files/Linebaugh%20and%20Rediker%20-%20The%20Many-Headed%20Hydra%20-%20Sailors,%20Slaves,%20Commoners,%20and%20the%20Hidden%20H.pdf). I am. You also mentioned "All The Mountains Shook" (https://www.erudit.org/fr/revues/llt/1982-v10-llt_10/llt10cri01.pdf). I'm interested in the role of the Mechanics' Committee, mutual aid, and other working class in the writing of the state constitutions. The State Constitution is the most radical having removed the property requirement for voting in favor of tax-payer suffrage, which most workingmen would likely have paid. It also famously admitted "all freemen" to vote and participate in civic life. The reaction came in 1838 as a result of the political alliance between southern slave owners and northern working people in the new republic: The Democratic Party changed it to explicitly exclude free Black residents of Pennsylvania from civic life.
