At least 34 were noted as killed, while the leader Eugene V. Debs had gotten arrested. It was a big mess, and it was all because the federal troops had gotten involved.

Answer:

When business declined in 1894, Pullman cut jobs, wages and hours of work, but did not lower rents or prices in his city. The fact that he did not lower rents, service fees and product prices led his workers to strike, a violent contest that was dissolved by federal troops sent by President Grover Cleveland against the opinion of the governor of Illinois John P. Altgeld.

A federal commission that studied the case of the 1894 strike, ruled that Pullman's paternalism was partially guilty of the problem, and defined the city of Pullman as contrary to American culture. In 1898, the Illinois Supreme Court forced the Pullman company to dispose of its urban properties, annexing them to the city of Chicago.

The animosity against Pullman remained, and when he died in 1897, he was buried at night in Graceland Cemetery in a lead-lined coffin with steel reinforcements in a concrete vault. Several tons of cement were poured to prevent his body from being exhumed and desecrated by labor activists.

His position as president of the company was taken by Robert Todd Lincoln, lawyer, former secretary of war and son of President Abraham Lincoln.

What are at least 10 facts about Lafayette?
andreev551 [17]

1. His birth name was extremely long.

The future hero of the American Revolution was born Marie-Joseph-Paul-Yves-Roch-Gilbert du Motier de La Fayette in an expansive chateau in Chavaniac, France, on September 6, 1757. “It’s not my fault,” he joked in his autobiography. “I was baptized like a Spaniard, with the name of every conceivable saint who might offer me more protection in battle.”

2. King George III’s brother convinced Lafayette to fight against Great Britain.

3. Lafayette was only 19 years old and without combat experience when he arrived in America.

4. He was shot in the leg during his first battle.

During the Battle of Brandywine, near Philadelphia, on September 11, 1777, Lafayette was shot in the calf.  

5. Lafayette named his only son after George Washington.

6. Hounds that Lafayette sent to Washington helped to create a new breed of dog.

In 1785, Lafayette sent seven large French hounds across the Atlantic Ocean as gifts for Washington.  the future first president of the United States bred the hunting dogs with the imports. The combination of the  hounds helped to create the American Foxhound.

7. Lafayette co-authored the Declaration of the Rights of Man and the Citizen.

8. Lafayette is an honorary American citizen.

In 1784, Maryland conferred honorary citizenship upon Lafayette, and other colonies followed suit. The U.S. State Department, however, determined in 1935 that the measures did not result in the marquis becoming a United States citizen following the ratification of the U.S. Constitution. That changed in 2002 when Lafayette became the sixth foreign national to be given honorary American citizenship by Congress.

9. At the age of 72, he was still a revolutionary leader.

10. Lafayette was buried in France underneath dirt taken from Bunker Hill.

After the 76-year-old Lafayette died in Paris on May 20, 1834, he was laid to rest next to his wife at the city’s Pic pus Cemetery. To carry out the request of “The Hero of the Two Worlds” to be buried in both American and French soil, his son covered his coffin with dirt they had taken from Bunker Hill in 1825 when the marquis laid the cornerstone to the monument that still marks the battlefield
