Question

In the 1870s violent conflicts broke out between which two groups of people?

Answer 1

(b)Workers and Business Owners

Answer 2

The correct answer is: Bussiness Corporations and Workers.

In the midst of the 1870's, bussiness coporations - particularly railroad companies - reduced the wages of workers in order to protect their profits from the recurrent economic depression. This practice was executed several times to the point worker strikes appeared in cities such as St. Louis, Chicago, and New York.
