Answer: They went to go break up the strike. But it was at least to me a mistake for them to do so because when they arrived on July 4, 1894, riots broke out in Chicago, and 26 civilians were killed. A railroad yard was burned. So did Grover really help?

Explanation: I hope this answers your question :) Have a great day!
