C) The Radical Republicans, because they wanted harsher treatment of the south (Congressional reconstruction).

Further Explanation-

President Andrew Johnson took office after the assassination of President Lincoln and was the first president in the history of American History to have impeachment proceedings initiated against him by the Congress. He was elected as the Vice President when Abraham Lincoln was elected as President and was the Governor of Tennessee.

Being a democrat, he was an avid supporter of the rights of states and introduced many populist measures during his term in office. He was the only Governor among the Southern States who supported in favour of the Union. On becoming the President, he took a moderate approach to restoring the South to the Union, which went against the policies of the hard-line conservative Republicans, who believed that as President, he should have taken a stronger approach in restoring the Southern states to the Union, thus preserving the unity and integrity of the United States.

The President wanted to gain support for his policies, but the Republicans who won a majority in both houses of the Congress voted to impeach President Johnson in February 1868. He survived the impeachment charges but did not run for a second term. President Johnson had a challenging Presidency, where he attempted to restore the Southern states to the Union, but also tried to preserve their autonomy and granted amnesty to Confederate generals. However, the Southern States refused to co-operate, and opposed him at every turn, oppressing the newly freed slaves. He was also against the 14th Amendment Act, asking the Southern states against its ratification, which was again unsuccessful.

"In the late 1800s and early 1900s the federal government supported the efforts of the labor movement."

Katena32 [7]

Answer:

The Pullman Strike and Loewe Vs Lawlor

Explanation:

The Pullman Strike was an organised strike by the American Railway Union against the Pullman Company. The strike closed off many of the nations railroad traffic. Workers of the Pullman company had gone on strike in response to a reduction in wages and when this was unsuccessful, they increased their efforts and with the help of the AFU took it nationwide. They refused to couple or move any train that carried a Pullman car. At its peak the strike included 250,000 workers in 27 states.The federal government's response was to obtain an injunction against the union and to order them to stop interfering with trains. When they refused, President Cleveland sent in the army to stop strikers from interfering with the trains. Violence broke out and the strike collapsed. The leaders were sentenced to prison and the ARU dissolved.

Loewe V Lawlor was a Supreme Court decision that went against the rights of the labour movement. D. E. Loewe & Company had been subjected to a strike and a boycott as a result of it becoming an 'open shop'. The nationwide boycott was supported by the American Federation of Labor and persuaded retailers, wholesalers and customers not to buy from Loewe. This boycott cost him a large amount of money and he sued the union for violating the Sherman Antitrust Act (Another piece of legislation subsequently used to attack unions).

The case was sent to the US Circuit Court for the District of Connecticut, which found that the lawsuit was out of the scope of the Sherman Act. However, upon appeal it then went to the Supreme Court, who ruled in favour of Loewe. The courts decision was important for two reasons. Firstly it allowed individual unionists to be held personally responsible for damages arising from the activities of their unions. Secondly, it effectively outlawed secondary boycott (Where members of different companies boycott in solidarity with the affected workers) as a violation of the Sherman Act. Both of these limited the ability of the unions to bring about change through striking and boycott.

How did Prohibition directly lead to the Growth of Organized Crime? (Mafia)

lilavasa [31]

The Reason prohibition directly led to organized crime was because the public demand for illegal alcohol was increasing, therefore people such as Al Capone would organize secret bars called “speakeasies”
