The Wide Awakes were a youth organization and later a paramilitary organization cultivated by the Republican Party during the 1860 presidential election in the United States. Using popular social events, an ethos of competitive fraternity, and even promotional comic books, the organization introduced many to political participation and proclaimed itself as the newfound voice of younger voters. The structured militant Wide Awakes appealed to a generation which had been profoundly shaken by the partisan instability in the 1850s, and offered young northerners a much-needed political identity.

  • Os Wide Awakes eram uma organização para jovens e, mais tarde, uma organização paramilitar cultivada pelo Partido Republicano durante as eleições presidenciais de 1860 nos Estados Unidos. Usando eventos sociais populares, um ethos de fraternidade competitiva, e até de banda desenhada promocional, a organização introduziu muitos à participação política e proclamou-se a nova voz dos eleitores mais jovens. Os Acordos Amplos estruturados e militantes apelaram a uma geração profundamente abalada pela instabilidade partidária da década de 1850 e ofereceram aos jovens nortenhos uma identidade política muito necessária.
