<u>C. Americans began to associate unions with violence. </u>

The Haymarket riots that occurred in Chicago on May 4, 1886,discredited the entire labor movement as it was associated with violence. The riots were a response to police brutality towards workers of the Haymarket Square section of Chicago, Illinois. It was also held to emphasize the plight of workers to vis a vis the government, and consisted of activists from a group called the ‘Knights of Labor’.

Further Explanation:

The Haymarket riots led to the discrediting of the labor movement in the eyes of American public opinion, which defeated the purpose of the protests. The loss of a huge number of lives from the detonation of a bomb by the anarchists caused the association of these labor organizations with violence and terror, the event resulted in the decline and fall of the Knights of Labor, and eight of them ended up being arrested by the authorities. However, a concrete case could not be formulated against them due to the uncertainty involved in understanding their convictions. Following the association of the Knights of Labor which eventually resulted in their decline, most of the members joined the less radical Federation of Labor. The Haymarket riots caused the United States government to rethink their labor laws and improve the working conditions for labors, such as wage and time disparity and sought to resolve the unfair treatment of industrial workers. The Haymarket incident was internationalized as it became symbolic of the struggles of common workers against unfair and harsh working conditions all over the world. The incident has been immortalized in several paintings, murals, and museums throughout the world, and also has a memorial that was installed in the site of the riots in 2004.

During the reconstruction President, Lincoln’s plans or main topics were to Give Forgiveness to the South, the Ten Percent Plan, Thirteenth Amendment, and Freedmen’s Bureau. However, when Lincoln got reelected to start his second term John Wilkes Booth did not agree with Lincoln’s plans so Booth decided to kill Lincoln. After Lincoln died Vice President Andrew Johnson became the President. Johnson did not agree with all of the things Lincoln was trying to accomplish with the reconstruction. Johnson did agree to accept the end of slavery and to legally forgive the South. However, he did not provide aid to help former slaves (Freedmen) and he gave the states the power of their government.

The Southerners did not agree with all of the reconstruction plans. They fought to keep the African Americans in a place where they felt they were still in slavery. Southerners did not agree with taking slavery and banning it however, with their government control they made it to where law enforcement was able to arrest African Americans and force them to work on Plantations. When voting came around Southerners did everything they could to prevent African Americans from voting. They made Poll Taxes which affected the poor people and they also made Literacy tests which affected the majority of African Americans because before the Civil War they were not given proper education. However, this also affected poor whites so the Southerners made the Grandfather clauses which stated that if before the Civil War your grandfather had full citizenship rights you were exempted from the Poll Tax and Literacy tests. This ensured poor whites could vote and the majority of African Americans were denied voting rights. I think that the reconstruction plans will eventually succeed but before they do the South will fight their hardest to ensure that African Americans feel like they are in slavery because that was the one thing the Southerners did not want to give up.
