History

Hoochie [10]2 years ago

Workers at the Pullman Palace Car Company, a railroad car builder close to Chicago, went on strike on May 11, 1894, in opposition to their meager pay and 16-hour workdays.

<h3>What led to the 1894 Pullman Strike?</h3>

The lack of democracy in Pullman's politics, the firm's strict paternalistic control over its employees, the high cost of gas and water, and the company's unwillingness to let its employees own homes were a few of the factors that led to the strike. The two of them had not yet united.

Debs believed that organizing a nationwide strike would be the only way to push the Pullman Company into arbitration because the government was acting in the General Managers' Association's favor. However, his efforts were unsuccessful. Midway through July, the boycott ended, and the ARU was defeated.

How did Enlightenment philosophy influence the political revolutions of the 1700s and 1800s?
beks73 [17]
The Enlightenment was a philosophical movement during the 18th century that included progressive thought in liberty, church and state, constitutional rights/government, and authority. The American and French revolutions were both highly influenced by the enlightenment. Certain philosophical figures such as John Locke and Rousseau's ideas were adopted by revolutionaries. Locke argued that kings and monarchs should not have absolute power and that people should give away a little bit of certain freedom while keeping their natural rights that they are born with. This is evident by King George III of England using his monarch powers to impose heavy taxes on the colonists, who felt that they were loosing rights as they were taxed without proper representation. The drafting of the Declaration of Independence also echoed Locke's emphasis on life, liberty and property by saying 'life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Thomas Jefferson was highly influenced by the idea of citizens having the right to overthrow their government which was stated by John Locke.

The French Revolution was also similar in that it was influenced by enlightened thought as well. The majority of the French population was always outvoted in the Estate assembly, where the nobility and clergy always outvoted the third Estate made up of commoners and the lower class who were suffering from economic depression. Voltaire, one writer thought that citizens have the right to free speech and religious tolerance which was lacking to the French majority. Also, King Louis XVI was highly incompetent with handling the economic issues faced by those in the third Estate. Rousseau was influential with his concept of a social contract by stating that "man is born free; and everywhere he is in chains", which is similarly states in the Declaration of the Rights of Man stating that "men are born and remain free and equal in rights". The progressive ideas were influential to two revolutions that were both rooted in political and social oppression by an authoritative body. Without these thinkers, there would be little guidance for revolutionaries who seeked a better form of government and basic rights.<span />
