Lincoln sent a ship to fort sumter in april 1861 because the union troops desperately needed food and water.

Fort Sumter is an island fortification located in Charleston Harbor, South Carolina. Fort Sumter is remembered for being the site of the first shots of the Civil War.

On April 8, 1861, President Lincoln sent a letter to South Carolina Gov. Francis Pickens stating that he would resupply Fort Sumter by force, if necessary, or peacefully.

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.

Grover cleveland’s response to the pullman strike
likoan [24]

Answer: Grover Cleveland’s response to the Pullman strike was to send federal troops to keep the trains running.

Explanation:

The Pullman Strike started on 11 May 1894. It was the result of protest by railway workers against George Pullman, hence the name Pullman strike.

George Pullman started cutting manpower and asked the remaining ones to work extra hours at a lower wages. This started in 1983 as a result of economic downfall caused by the Panic of 1893.

It was this strike that gave birth to Labor Day, a national holiday to pacify American labor movement.

The labors who started Pullman Strike were from a union founded by Eugene Debs, known as American Railroad Union (ARU).

The government's response to this strike gave a hint that government is trying to break the strike.
