同盟会时期孙中山与美国致公堂的关系

同盟会成立后,孙中山对美国致公堂的工作是联络华人华侨共同革命的重要举措。1909年末1910年初孙中山在美国纽约、芝加哥、旧金山等地建立同盟会组织,同时进行筹款工作。在此期间他与洪门致公堂沟通不多,只是在同盟会不便直接出面的情况下才考虑运用致公堂的资源。1911年4月孙中山结束加拿大之行后回到美国。6月,孙中山到达旧金山说服致公堂大佬与同盟会合作,以互相参加的方式实行大联合。随后仿效在加拿大的成功经验,设立“洪门筹饷局”。孙中山旅居旧金山期间,还到加利福尼亚州各地进行革命宣传。美洲致公堂捐助的大量经费在辛亥革命运动中具有特殊的意义,它是辛亥革命得以顺利进行的重要物质条件。
