After humbling Jay Gould in 1886, membership exploded and the Knights became the most powerful union in the country. Rifts between its anarchist wing and its conservative skilled labor wing led to the dissolution of the Knights of Labor.;;;;;;;;;;X ACT304705A;Damnation!;;;;;;;;;;X EVT304706N;The Industrial Workers of the World;;;;;;;;;;X EVT304706D;With the failure of the trade unionist movement in achieving an abolition of what workers considered 'wage-slavery,' they turned to the idea of syndicalism, where 'one big union' would pressure state and capital into giving up control of the means of production to the workers. The Industrial Workers of the World became the primary vehicle for syndicalism in the United States.;;;;;;;;;;X EVT304707N;The American Federation of Labor;;;;;;;;;;X EVT304707D;With the anarchists and other assorted socialists bringing the trade unionist movement in opposition to the very concept of wage-labor, skilled workers created a far less militant union called the American Federation of Labor. To maximize their bargaining ability, the AFL wouldn't let in unskilled labor. It would eventually come to dominate the American labor movement.;;;;;;;;;;X EVT304708N;The American Railway Union;;;;;;;;;;X EVT304708D;Like the Knights of Labor, the American Railway Union was organized to include unskilled as well as skilled railway workers.

Before its decline, the Farmers' Alliance garnered 3 million members.;;;;;;;;;;X EVT304710N;The Haymarket Martyrs;;;;;;;;;;X EVT304710D;A bomb thrown into the crowd at a rally in Chicago killed a policeman. Immediately the police opened fire on the protesters, killing scores, with several more policemen being killed in the melee - probably from policemens' guns. The anarchists of the city were blamed for the bomb throwing incident and its aftermath. Several leaders of the rally were convicted for the deaths and later executed despite evidence indicating their innocence.;;;;;;;;;;X ACT304710A;Crush the anarchist rabble!;;;;;;;;;;X ACT304710B;They are innocent!;;;;;;;;;;X EVT304711N;The Ludlow Massacre;;;;;;;;;;X EVT304711D;Coal miners in Colorado called a strike in the small mining town of Ludlow started prior to the the outbreak of the Great War. The operator, Colorado Fuel and Iron Company, used the Colorado Militia, Pinkerton agents and others to break the strike. Their method was to enter the miners' tent colony, douse the tents in kerosine, set them on fire, and gun down the inhabitants as they escaped the flames.;;;;;;;;;;X ACT304711A;Crush the strike!;;;;;;;;;;X ACT304711B;Give into their demands;;;;;;;;;;X EVT304714N;The New England Shoemakers' Strike;;;;;;;;;;X EVT304714D;The Depression of 1857 destroyed New England's shoe industry, which provoked drastic wage losses. In response, the shoemakers of the region staged the largest strike in antebellum America. Although their unions weren't recognized, the employers agreed to give them wage increases.;;;;;;;;;;X ACT304714A;Give the workers wage increases;;;;;;;;;;X ACT304714B;The only good striker is a dead striker!;;;;;;;;;;X EVT304715N;The Lowell Strike;;;;;;;;;;X EVT304715D;In Lowell, Massachussetts, 1500 female textile workers struck against the mill owners' decision to raise bordinghouse charges.

Hunt;;;;;;;;;;X EVT304716D;The Massachussetts Supreme Court ruled that unions were lawful institutions, and members could not be prosecuted by conspiracy charges. Even with this ruling, labor rights were far from being consistently recognized - even being systematically undermined in the courts through injunctions, anti-trust charges, and the like.;;;;;;;;;;X ACT304716A;Unions are lawful institutions;;;;;;;;;;X ACT304716B;Ha! Let's see the Court try to enforce its ruling!;;;;;;;;;;X EVT304717N;Sherman Antitrust Act;;;;;;;;;;X EVT304717D;With growing public agitation over the need to regulate the railroads, the US government passed the Sherman Antitrust Act in 1890. Although Sherman designed it to destroy the power of trusts and monopolies, due to its vague wording and lack of independent regulatory provisions, it was used to undermine the power of unions.;;;;;;;;;;X ACT304717A;Break the power of privilege!;;;;;;;;;;X ACT304717B;The federal government has no authority to do this;;;;;;;;;;X EVT304720N;The 'Creole' Affair;;;;;;;;;;X EVT304720D;The brigantine, 'Creole,' en route to New Orleans with a cargo of slaves, was seized by a mutiny of the slaves and taken into port in the Bahamas. Ignoring the precedent set by the Amistad case, Secretary of State, Daniel Webster demanded that the ship and the slaves be returned to the United States.;;;;;;;;;;X ACT304720A;Our property must be returned;;;;;;;;;;X EVT304721N;William Lloyd Garrison;;;;;;;;;;X EVT304721D;One of the foremost and most forceful abolitionists, Garrison used the platform of his newspaper 'The Liberator' to speak out passionately and unsparingly against slavery and all those who were connected with slavery.;;;;;;;;;;X ACT304721A;I will be heard;;;;;;;;;;X EVT304722N;Federal Arsenal Program;;;;;;;;;;X EVT304722D;Moderate southern congressmen have convinced the army to build an arsenal in Charleston.

If we approve its construction, perhaps it may appease the Southern fire-eaters.;;;;;;;;;;X EVT304724D;Moderate southern congressmen have convinced the army to build an arsenal in Richmond. If we approve its construction, perhaps it may appease the Southern fire-eaters.;;;;;;;;;;X EVT304725N;Democrats Split at Convention;;;;;;;;;;X EVT304725D;Unable to agree over the platform issue of allowing slavery in the territories, several deep south delegations left the Democratic convention in Charleston. When it was reconvened in Baltimore, the convention leaders refused to reseat these delegates who went to Richmond where they nominated John C. Breckinridge.;;;;;;;;;;X ACT304725A;We'll just hold our own convention;;;;;;;;;;X EVT304726N;Southern Fire-eaters;;;;;;;;;;X EVT304726D;Within the South, it was seen that abolitionists were in constant assault upon the South. That coupled with the South's ever-decreasing influence in the nation resulted in the rise of increasingly more virulent defenders - the 'fire-eaters.' It was these men more than any other who split the ranks of the Democratic party, allowed the election of Lincoln and led the South to secession.;;;;;;;;;;X ACT304726A;Be true to your own sense of right;;;;;;;;;;X EVT304727N;The Crittenden Compromise;;;;;;;;;;X EVT304727D;Kentucky Senator John Crittenden presented a resolution before Congress which proposed amendments to the constitution to guarantee slavery, extend slavery to the territories, and restrict Congress from producing legislation restricting interstate slave trade. Perhaps this will reduce tension between North and South.;;;;;;;;;;X EVT304729N;The Thirteenth Amendment;;;;;;;;;;X EVT304729D;As part of the Crittenden Compromise, the passage of an amendment to the constitution which guarantees slavery in perpetuity has passed the Congress. It now goes before the people.;;;;;;;;;;X EVT304730N;The Crittenden Acts;;;;;;;;;;X EVT304730D;As part of the Crittenden Compromise, amendments to the United States Constitution which extend slavery into the territories and prohibit restrictions on interstate slave trade have been put before the people.;;;;;;;;;;X EVT304731N;Kentucky Declares Neutrality;;;;;;;;;;X EVT304731D;With the governor of Kentucky pro-secession and the state legislature unionist, Kentucky has issued a declaration of neutrality.;;;;;;;;;;X ACT304731A;Give Kentucky some time to work things out;;;;;;;;;;X ACT304731B;Press Kentucky to declare;;;;;;;;;;X EVT304732N;Kentucky Replies;;;;;;;;;;X EVT304732D;Our representatives have returned from presenting our case to the legislature of Kentucky.;;;;;;;;;;X ACT304732A;You'll have our answer;;;;;;;;;;X EVT304734N;Maryland Mob Interferes with Federal Troops;;;;;;;;;;X EVT304734D;An angry mob of pro-Southern sympathizers in Baltimore began jeering and throwing rocks and bottles at a Pennsylvania regiment en route through the city.
