The Haymarket Riot was viewed a setback for the organized labor movement in America, which was fighting for such rights as the eight-hour workday. ?Strikes by industrial workers were increasingly common in the United States in the 1880s, a time when working conditions often were dismal and dangerous, and wages were low; meanwhile industrialists like John D. Rockefeller were richer than any other men in American history.

For each labor strike, read both the historical context and details of the event. Answer the analysis questions that follow. ?Haymarket Riot Historical Context: During the gilded age, the steel, railways, and lumber industries, employed many new immigrants from Europe working 60 - 100 hour work weeks over 6 days, with wages as low as $1.50 per day ($37.64 in today’s dollars). ?In Chicago, German and Bohemian immigrants organized unions to try and demand better working conditions. Many of these organizers were also members of anarchist and socialist parties that believed that capitalism was ruining America and squeezing the working class into poverty while the rich simply became richer. ?The Chicago industrial workers went on strike on May 1st 1886 to lobby for an 8 hour work day and higher pay. Events of the Haymarket Riot: On May 3, 1886, at a rally outside of a factory, union leader August Spies gave a speech in which he told striking workers to stay calm and stand by their union, or they would not succeed in their strike for better working conditions and an 8 hour work day. At the end of his speech, the bell for the end of the work day rang out, and striking unionists attacked men who had broken the strike and gone to work. ?In trying to calm the fights that followed this attack, police opened fire, killing four demonstrators. The next day, workers held a vigil and rally at Haymarket Square to protest the police killings. August Spies and fellow union leader Albert Parsons gave speeches. At the end of the speeches, the police marched towards the protesters and asked them to break up the rally and go home. As they advanced, gun shots were exchanged between the protesters and the police, when suddenly a bomb exploded killing six police officers. ?The strike quickly came to an end as a result of the Haymarket riot and an anti-union movement swept through Chicago. The entire labor and immigrant community in Chicago came under police scrutiny. The strikers did not win an 8 hour work day until many years later.

To produce the cars, he built a manufacturing plant located in a company-owned town just outside of Chicago. ?The company town was touted as a model community filled with content, well paid workers. During the economic depression of 1893, George Pullman sought to preserve profits by lowering labor costs - so he cut his workforce by 1,200 workers and cut wages by 25 percent. ?Workers were required to live in the company town, which meant they rented and bought household provisions from the Pullman company. While wages had been slashed, the cost of living in the company town did not change; this change led to workers organizing to protest. Events of the Pullman Strike: ?The Pullman factory workers went on strike and were joined by the American Railway Union (ARU) and its leader, Eugene Debs. ?The ARU supported the strike by refusing to run trains containing Pullman cars. The plan was to force the railroads to bring Pullman to compromise. ?Once on strike, the laborers began to obstruct railroad tracks preventing the transportation of goods and attracting national attention. The strike affected nearly all aspects of American society from mail service to the tourism industry. ?Over time, the strike lead to many violent clashes between strikers and local and federal law enforcement. Eventually, the strike came to an end in 1894 when President Grover Cleveland used the US Marshals and US Army troops to force the workers to resume their duties. ?The laborers did not win an improvement in their working conditions or a pay increase, and the American economy suffered losses of over $80,000,000 because of the work stoppage.

By Roger Daniels - Magazine of History Volume 13 No 4 (1999) ... Numbers, can only tell a fragment of the immigrant story, one must consider as well the following questions: Where did immigrants come from? Gilded Age immigrants came overwhelmingly from Europe, with a shift over time toward Eastern and Southern Europe. ?Germans, British, Irish, Scandinavians, Italians, and subjects of the Austro-Hungarian and Russian Empires predominated. ?Why did they leave? As with most migrants in American history, perceived economic/ social advantage, persecution at home for minority groups, and compulsory military service were the major push factors (conditions at home that encouraged immigration) for many. ?Pull factors (reasons for an attraction to the United States) were mostly related to promised economic opportunity, availability of farmland, and industrialization in the United States. How did they get here? The development of transportation networks greatly influenced Gilded Age immigration. As railroads with cheaper fares spread throughout Europe, places with transportation to seaports multiplied. ?Oceanic transport and the advent of steamships also made travel easier. Where did they settle?...Ever since the census began to count foreign born residents separately in 1850, they have been more likely to reside in cities… Ethnic groups had their own patterns: Irish and Canadians favored New England, Italians and Russians the middle Atlantic states, Germans the east north central states, and Scandinavians the west north central states…What did they do? Because the Gilded Age was an era of expanding industrialization, most immigrants worked at industrial jobs, usually at the unskilled level...most immigrants took the hardest, lowest paying, most hazardous industrial employment… It was not just immigrant men who worked. ?Immigrant women and children were much more likely to be in the labor force than those who were native-born. How did they live? Most Gilded Age immigrants, like their predecessors, lived in ethnic enclaves in both town and country whenever they could. ?There they could speak their own languages, worship with familiar rituals, and generally recreate a version of the world they had left. ?The Chinese were confined in parts of cities that became known as Chinatown….enclaves for Europeans developed names like Little Italy.Document 2: Western European Immigration - Details (Source: Advocates of Human Rights) Country Push FactorsPull Factors Germany Bestselling book in 1829 about Missouri by Gottfried Duden Social and economic discrimination against Jews and CatholicsYoung men left Germany to avoid mandatory military service The north-central states (Wisconsin, Minnesota and Michigan) promoted their states for settlement among Germans with funding and support from their state legislatures Austria-Hungary Hungarian 'Forty-niners' came to the United States to escape retribution by Austrian authorities after the defeat of the Hungarian Revolution of 1848OverpopulationLack of jobs America was the land of the free, provided amnesty to those seeking refuge after the Hungarian Revolution Developing economy in the United States provided many jobsFarmable lands were available for displaced Austrian farmers Italy Southern Italy was economically depressedOverpopulation Jobs in a growing American economy Ireland Economic depression Irish potato famine, in which almost 1.5 million Irish men and women died of starvation or diseaseProtestant immigrants were drawn to the overwhelming Protestant majority of the United StatesCatholic unskilled laborers found thriving American urban centers as a destination for their work - the textile and construction industries were specifically targeted for their high demand for unskilled workerNorway Avoid religious persecutionLack of jobs and economic depression While Norway had a shortage of jobs in the 1800s, America had a shortage of laborAs America's economy grew, more workers were needed - this opportunity for employment drew many Norwegian emigrants to America Document 3: American History - HMH Textbook - Module 13 (2012) Most of the immigrants who streamed into the United States in the late 19th century became city dwellers because cities were the cheapest and most convenient places to live. ?As a result, many of the large established cities - such as New York and Chicago - got larger. Because of industrialization, cities also offered unskilled laborers steady jobs in mills and factories. ?By 1910, immigrants made up more than half the total population in 18 American cities. Rapid improvements in farming technology during the second half of the 19th century was good news for some and bad news for others. ?Inventions such as the McCormick reaper and steel plow meant fewer laborers were needed to work the land. Many rural Americans moved from the country to the city looking for work. This included African Americans, many of whom were former farmers. ?African Americans were also drawn to the bigger cities looking for a life that was more peaceful and safer than the racially discriminating southern states where violence against African Americans was on the rise. As a result, job competition between African American and white immigrants began to rise, bringing with it a different set of racial tensions. ?The Americanization movement was designed to assimilate immigrants into American culture. ?Schools and voluntary associations provided programs to teach immigrants skills needed to participate in American democracy. ?Despite these efforts, many immigrants did not wish to abandon their traditions. Often, ethnic groups of one kind lived in different compact neighborhoods and tried to preserve their old world ways. For example, many Italians, having arrived in New York City, moved to Little Italy. ?A new American culture began to develop in diverse cities - one that mixed the old world ethnic traditions with the new American ways. Working conditions in cities were often no better than living conditions. ?Having come from rural areas, few new immigrants were skilled in modern manufacturing or industrial work. ?They often had no choice but to take up low-paying, unskilled jobs in factories, mills, and sweatshops. Often, entire families had to work just to make ends meet. ?Housing and infrastructure became a major issue. ?As urban populations increased, new types of housing were developed. ?Sometimes, two or three families occupied a single family home. These multi family urban dwellings, called tenements, were overcrowded and unsanitary. ?Cities tried to keep up with the growth and expansion of the population. Electric subways and streetcars were built in cities like New York, San Francisco, and Boston. ?Cities struggled to keep up with the demands for new transportation and repair old ones. Safe drinking water also became a major problem. ?Even in large cities like New York - indoor plumbing was rare. Residents had to collect water in pails from city faucets and heat it for bathing and cooking. ?Finally, as cities grew, so did the challenge of keeping them clean.

Nothing would probably have shocked their original owners more than the idea of their harboring a promiscuous crowd; for they were the decorous homes of the old Knickerbockers, the proud aristocracy of Manhattan in the early days. It was the stir and bustle of trade, together with the tremendous immigration that followed upon the war of 1812 that dislodged them.

Directions: Read the selection below and review the table. ?When you are done, answer the reflection questions that follow on the next page. ?As a result of industrialization and urbanization in the Gilded Age (1870 - 1910), America was changed forever; in some ways the change was positive, and in other ways the changes were negative. The Progressive Era is the name given to the time period between 1890 and 1920; this name reflects the desire of a large group of American citizens to help society “progress” or move forward as a result of economic changes during the Industrial Age. ?Progressive reform in this time period depended upon journalism as an important tool to raise public awareness of serious societal problems. Investigative journalists encouraged the progressive reform movement by not only informing and educating the public of serious issues, but also by describing the problems in such detail that the government was forced to intervene to correct the injustice. ?For example in the 1870’s meat and food production became industrial. This helped companies produce meat and food more quickly to meet the demands of the growing American population, but also meant that the food production industry changed radically. New workers were forced to work long hours in often unsanitary conditions. After Upton Sinclair published The Jungle detailing the unsanitary practices of a meat packaging plant in Chicago, the US government began to regulate food production; the largest regulation came when President Theodore Roosevelt signed the Meat Inspection Act (1906) of and Pure Foods and Drug Act of (1906). ?The investigative journalists who played a major role in the Progressive Era were known as muckrakers. ?A table of muckrakers and the reform issues they brought to light are below. ?Author Book or Work Issue they uncovered Lincoln Steffens Shame of a City Corruption in state and city politics Upton Sinclair The Jungle Unsanitary conditions in meat packing industry Lewis HinesNCLC (National Child Labor Committee) Child labor, unsafe and exploitative practices Ida TarbellThe History of the Standard Oil Company Monopolistic and at aggressive business practices of Robber Barons Jacob Riis How the Other Half Lives NYC tenement housing and unsafe living conditions of immigrants and poorest class Reflection Questions: Close Reading: What was the name of the time period between 1880 and 1920 meant to move America forward during the Industrial Age? ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Close Reading: Who were muckrakers? ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Close Reading: How did muckrakers bring about change or help America to move forward? ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Analysis: Why do you think their work motivated the government to get involved? ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Analysis: What constitutional right are muckrakers exercising? ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Analysis: What are some issues in your community today that you think a muckraker would have been interested in?

During the 19th century, farmers found themselves at the mercy of forces – commodity prices, grain storage charges, interest rates, and shipping costs – that were beyond their control.The National Grange of the Patrons of Husbandry was founded in 1867 to organize farmers into local chapters dedicated to education, culture, and socialization. However, in the 1870s its aims became less social and more political, with membership reaching 1.5 million by 1874. The Grange accused the railroads of discriminatory practices (long haul compared to short haul, rebates, monopolizing practices), the grain-elevator operators of monopoly practices, charging ‘all that the traffic would bear,’ and manufacturers of raising prices and the cost of credit so that farmers were unable to make a profit.By the middle of the 1870s the Grangers held the political balance in several of the Midwestern states. In four states Granger laws were passed to regulate railroad rates and the practices of the owners of grain elevators. The Supreme Court, in a series of landmark decisions, upheld the principle that government could regulate all those industries ‘affected with a public interest.’”Questions:What concerns did farmers have in the 19th century? __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Why was National Grange of the Patrons of Husbandry founded in 1867? __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________What did the Grange accuse railroads and grain-elevator operators of? __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________What were the accomplishments of the Grangers? __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “The Patrons of Husbandry, or the Grange, was founded in 1867 to advance methods of agriculture, as well as to promote the social and economic needs of farmers in the United States.

Ferguson, 1896Booker T. WashingtonW.E.B. DuBoisPlessy, a racially mixed man, sat in a railroad car where only whites were permitted.He was arrested for violating a state law that provided “separate but equal” facilities for non-whites.Plessy said this law violated his “equal protection” rights under the 14th Amendment.The Supreme Court held that so long as a state provided “equal” facilities, it could legally separate African Americans from whites. The decision allowed the continuation of “separate but equal” facilities – resulting in whites and African Americans attending different schools, using different water fountains, and bathing in different public beaches.Booker T. Washington was born into slavery in 1856.In 1881, he founded the Tuskegee Institute in Alabama.In 19011, he wrote Up From Slavery, an autobiography.Washington believed that African Americans should first concentrate their efforts on trying to achieve economic independence before seeking full social equality.He believed economic prosperity could best be achieved by vocational training and practical, job-related education.He wanted young African Americans to develop skills and attitudes that would help them to survive in an environment of increasing violence and discrimination.W.E.B. DuBois was the first African American to obtain a Ph.D. from Harvard University and became a notable historian and writer.Unlike Booker T. Washington, DuBois urged the next generation of African Americans to move in a new direction.DuBois believed African Americans should agitate for full social and political equality immediately and not rest content with an inferior social and economic status.In his writings, DuBois encouraged African Americans not to define themselves as whites saw them, but to take pride in their dual heritages – as both Africans and Americans.In 1909, he helped form the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (N.A.A.C.P.) – to win rights through the courts.Who was Plessy and why was he arrested? __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________What Amendment did Plessy state was being violated?

Ferguson, 163 U.S. 537 (1896) “In Plessy v. Ferguson the Supreme Court held that the state of Louisiana did not violate the Fourteenth Amendment by establishing and enforcing a policy of racial segregation in its railway system. Justice John Marshall Harlan wrote a memorable dissent to that decision.” Source: McKenna, George, ed. A Guide to the Constitution That Delicate Balance (New York, 1984), pp. 384-386. ~ chnm.gmu.eduJudge Harlan’s dissent …It was said in argument that the statute of Louisiana does not discriminate against either race but prescribes a rule applicable alike to white and colored citizens. But this argument does not meet the difficulty. Everyone knows that the statues in question had its origin in the purpose, not so much to exclude white persons from railroad cars occupied by blacks, as to exclude colored people from coaches occupied by or assigned to white persons. Railroad corporations of Louisiana did not make discrimination among whites in the matter of accommodation for travellers. The thing to accomplish was, under the guise of giving equal accommodations for whites and blacks, to compel the latter to keep to themselves while travelling in railroad passenger coaches. No one would be so wanting in candor as to assert the contrary. The fundamental objection, therefore, to the statues is that it interferes with the personal freedom of citizens....If a white man and a black man choose to occupy the same public conveyance on a public highway, it is their right to do so, and no government, proceeding alone on grounds of race, can prevent it without infringing the personal liberty of each.... The white race deems itself to be the dominant race in this country. And so it is, in prestige, in achievements, in education, in wealth, and in power. So, I doubt not, it will continue to be for all time, if it remains true to its great heritage and holds fast to the principles of constitutional liberty. But in the view of the Constitution, in the eye of the law, there is in this country no superior, dominant, ruling class of citizens. There is no caste here. Our Constitution in color-blind and neither knows nor tolerates classes among citizens. In respect of civil rights, all citizens are equal before the law. The humblest is the peer of the most powerful. The law regards man as man and takes no account of his surroundings or of his color when his civil rights as guaranteed by the supreme law of the land are involved… The arbitrary separation of citizens, on the basis of race, while they are on a public highway, is a badge of servitude wholly inconsistent with the civil freedom and the equality before the law established by the Constitution. It cannot be justified upon any legal grounds.” Questions:What does Judge Harlan believe is the basis for Louisiana’s segregation? __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________What is the fundamental objection to the Louisiana statue? __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________What does Judge Harlan mean when he writes that the Constitution is color-blind? __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________What is Judge Harlan’s conclusion about “the arbitrary separation of citizens”? __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Explain your position on this issue. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Analyze the following image:Questions:What does this image reveal about Jim Crow segregation? __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________How does this image support Judge Harlan’s dissent? __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Can separate ever be equal?

Whether in neighborhood stores or on public sidewalks, segregation established an intricate set of rules to govern every kind of interracial contact that were reinforced by its repeated daily humiliations. Laws and practices that assigned African American laborers the most menial and lowest-paying jobs and kept them out of labor unions ensured their economic subordination. White newspapers stirred fears of black criminality and white police often arrested black people for the most minor infractions. As the primary source from the Cleveland Advocate in 1918 suggests, all-white juries and white judges punished African Americans more severely than whites, even when whites had committed the greater crime...More broadly, Southern courts sentenced a disproportionate number of African Americans to chain gangs and prison. Segregation literally rendered African American life less valuable than white life. Black Southerners had higher mortality rates, for example, because they lived in areas where white officials did not invest in improving sanitation and because the lack of public spending on health services for black people typically meant fewer hospitals and treatment options. An untold number of black adults and black children died as a result.”~ Katherine Mellen Charron [Associate Professor of History at North Carolina State University]; Questions:Why does Professor Charron believe that “displaying photographs of segregated water fountains utterly fail to convey how Jim Crow’s long reign shaped life for generations of African Americans”? __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ What examples does Professor Charron provide that demonstrate the oppression of African Americans under Jim Crow segregation? ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________How does this reading passage increase your understanding of Jim Crow segregation? ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________What then might be a more effective way to teach the effects of Jim Crow segregation on African Americans?

We are possessed of the same loves and animosities as our brothers, and we inherit equally with them the substance of our fathers. ?So long as we are minors the government treats us as equals, but when we come of age, when we are capable of knowing and feeling the difference the boy becomes a free human being, responsible alone to God for his life, while the girl remains a slave…Is this just? is it not indeed, barbarous?” ??????????????????????????? ???????????????Source: Susan B Anthony - Address to Congress 1884 According to Susan B Anthony’s testimony - what are three ways in which women are equal to men? ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Document ?3 Brooklyn Auxillary, NYS Association Opposed to the Extension of Suffrage to Women - 1894According to document 3 above, what are two reasons why this Brooklyn Auxiliary group are anti-women’s suffrage? __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Would the authors of documents 1 & 2 agree or disagree with the content of document 3 (above)?

The great doctrine of the American Republic that “all governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed” justifies the plea of one half of the people - the women - to exercise suffrage. ?The doctrine of the American Revolutionary War that taxation without representation is unendurable justifies women in exercising the suffrage.“ ????????????????????????????????????????????Source: US Senator Robert Owens Speech in Favor of Women’s Suffrage 1910 According to Senator Owens, what are three positive impacts of women voting in Colorado? ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Document 4b ...The question of woman suffrage should be summed up in this way: Has granting the ballot to women in the two suffrage states where they have had it for forty years brought about any great reforms or great results?

Although women have other capacities without numbers held in equal distinction and some in higher honor, they have never possessed or developed the political faculty. ?Without the counsel and guidance of men, no woman ever ruled a state wisely or well. The defect is innate [a characteristic they are born with] and one for which a cure is both impossible and not to be desired. That they lack the genius for politics is no more to their discredit than man’s handiness in housewifery and in the care of infants….Let there be no mistake as to the import of this argument. ?It is not in the remotest manner based upon the assumption or belief that woman is man’s inferior, either intellectually or in any other way. ?It rests upon the established fact that man’s work is different from women's work, and that in his work and in his striving in his own particular field that give man the qualifying knowledge essential to intelligent voting….” ???Source: New York Times Editorial February 7th 1915 Are the authors of this editorial in support of or against a woman’s right to vote?
