USHC-3 Part 1

The Pullman Strike (1894) was significant in American labor history because it showed that

• unions were powerful enough to break the restrictions placed on them by management.

• the U.S. government was willing to back the concerns of working-class people instead of backing corporate giants.

• unions were infiltrated by anarchists after people were killed during the protest in Chicago.

• the needs and concerns of union members mattered less to the government than the needs and concerns of industrial executives.

Businessmen during the Gilded Age of the late 19th century often favored relaxed immigration laws because they

• valued cheap and relatively unskilled labor.

• remembered their immigrant heritage.

• were supporters of the Temperance Movement.

• were advocates of multicultural education.

The ending of the Pullman Strike is significant because it

• demonstrated unions’ superiority and solidarity.

• showed that the US government was unwilling to get involved in business matters.

• demonstrated the US government’s pro-business alliances.

• demonstrated the US government's support of worker's rights.
