He opposed American entry into World War I as well as the 1913 Federal Reserve Act. Lindbergh is best known as the father of famed aviator Charles Lindbergh. Early lifeLindbergh was born Carl Månsson, in Stockholm, Sweden, to Lovisa Carlén, the 19-year-old mistress of Ola Månsson, a peasant member of the Riksdag of the Estates and a bank manager. When accused of bribery and embezzlement, Ola Månsson changed his name to August Lindbergh, left his wife and seven children, and emigrated to the United States with his mistress and their illegitimate infant son, Carl, in 1859. Lovisa became Louisa and young Carl became Charles August Lindbergh. They settled in Melrose, Minnesota and had six more children together. August worked as a farmer and a blacksmith for 26 years before marrying Louisa in 1885, having become a widower in 1864 with the death of his first wife in Sweden.[1][2] Charles August Lindbergh studied law at the University of Michigan Law School, graduating in 1883 and was admitted to the bar that same year. Political careerLindbergh served as prosecuting attorney for Morrison County, Minnesota in 1891-1893. He was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in 1906 as a Republican, serving in the 60th, 61st, 62nd, 63rd, and 64th congresses. In 1912, he supported Theodore Roosevelt's unsuccessful third party Progressive bid for the White House. In 1916 he unsuccessfully campaigned for a seat in the United States Senate. Isolationist Views and Opposition to the Federal ReserveWhen World War I broke out in Europe in 1914, Lindbergh was vocal that the United States should not become involved. In 1916 he lost his US Senate bid to an opponent who openly advocated American intervention in Europe. In March 1917, Lindbergh was one of only 14 congressmen to vote against the arming if U.S. Merchant ships.[3] By 1917, the third year of the Great War, Lindbergh's son was aged 16, which meant some possibility of conscription. In Congress, Lindbergh was one of the first outspoken critics of the Federal Reserve. His stature grew when he was featured in an article in American Magazine: "It was a Swede from Minnesota who first raised in Congress the hue-and-cry of the Money Trust Hunt-'a Swede who dreams,'a fellow member described him-Charles A. Lindbergh."[4] Lindbergh declared, "This Act establishes the most gigantic trust on Earth. When the President signs this bill, the invisible government by the Monetary Power will be legalized, the people may not know it immediately but the day of reckoning is only a few years removed.... The worst legislative crime of the ages is perpetrated by this banking bill."[5] In 1917 Lindbergh brought articles of impeachment against members of the Federal Reserve Board including Paul Warburg and William Proctor Gould Harding, charging that they were involved "...in a conspiracy to violate the Constitution and laws of the United States..."[6] In 1913 Lindbergh published Banking, Currency, and the Money Trust.[7] He also wrote an anti-war polemic entitled "Why is Your Country at War?". In 1918, under the Comstock Act federal agents destroyed the printing plates , along with Banking, Currency and the Money Trust, which attacked the Federal Reserve and big banks. The former was later posthumously released in 1934, under the title, Your Country at War, and What Happens to You After a War In the first chapter, he wrote, "It is impossible according to the big press to be a true American unless you are pro-British. If you are really for America first, last and all time, and solely for America and for the masses primarily, then you are classed as pro-German by the big press which is supported by the speculators."[8] These believes would influence his son, who would later famously oppose American intervention in World War II. Gubernatorial CampaignsIn 1918, Lindbergh ran for Governor as a Republican against the Republican incumbent, J. A. A. Burnquist. Lindbergh was endorsed by the Farmers Nonpartisan League, which called for government ownership of some agricultural enterprises, such as mills, plants, and grain elevators. Many of his campaign speeches were attended by thousands of supporters. But due to his opposition to American entry into the first World War and his connection to the Socialistic Farmers Nonpartisan League, Lindbergh was attacked by the press and there were often protestors who pelted him with eggs and rocks. Lindbergh's son Charles worked as his driver and "never forgot the hostile crowds that harassed his father, or the way the press derided him." Lindbergh's 1918 bid for governor ultimately failed.[9] In 1924, Lindbergh was once again a candidate for governor on the Minnesota Farmer-Labor Party ticket. Lindbergh's campaign was cut short by his death. He would have been the first Minnesota governor from the party if he had been elected. Personal LifeIn 1887, Lindbergh married Mary LaFond, with whom he had two daughters, Lillian and Eva. Mary LaFond died in 1898. In 1901, Charles married Evangeline Lodge Land (1876–1954). In 1902, they settled in Little Falls, Minnesota, where Lindbergh established his successful law practice. Evangeline often had difficulty raising her two step-daughters, who both eventually moved away. Evangeline often threatened Lindbergh with divorce, who caved in to her demands, fearing a divorce would cost him his seat in congress. After further problems, Evangeline began to live in a separate residence in 1909.[10] They separated in 1918, their only child being the famous aviator Charles Lindbergh, who also became an antiwar leader.[2] {{clear}}DeathCharles August Lindbergh died in 1924 in Crookston, Minnesota of brain cancer. He has a memorial plaque in the columbarium at Lakewood Cemetery in Minneapolis. According to his wishes, son Charles scattered his ashes over the place near Sauk River where the first Lindbergh home once stood.[11] ReferencesNotes1. ^{{cite book | author=Hertog, Susan | title=Anne Morrow Lindbergh: Her Life | publisher=Nan A.
