Question

In the late 1800s and early 1900s the federal government supported the efforts of the labor movement. Provide two pieces of evidence that would refute this thesis statement.

Answer 1

During the significant strikes in the 19th century, the government agreed with entrepreneurs over the associations. For instance, in the Great Railroad Strikes of 1877, railroad laborers were fighting pay cuts in the fallout of the Panic of 1873 and descending weight on wages from movement and the urbanization of once provincial specialists. The strikes started in West Virginia after the Baltimore and Ohio cut laborers' salaries, and the attacks were put somewhere around state civilian armies and government troops about a month and a half later.
