The American Federation of Labor, consisting of mostly craftsmen, was not so friendly to women and blacks. There was not so much room for department store workers and domestic servants, whom the Knights had organized. Skilled and well paid workers that were more interested in in winning a larger share in the corporate rewards constituted the American Federation of Labor. Knights on the other hand were of the opinion that ordinary people should have control over the enterprises in which they worked, and therefore recommended that shops owned by employees should be set up, thereby transforming America into a “cooperative commonwealth”. They called for the government to endorse more greenback dollars and increase the amount of money in circulation.

The accomplishments of the three labor organizations varied. The Greenback Party, active between 1874 and 1889, had candidates in three presidential elections but failed to win, and they declined when they failed to win any House seats in the election of 1884. The Knights of Labor became one of the largest labor organizations in the 1880’s, but charges of violence alleged links to Freemasonry caused their decline too. The American Federation of Labor is a story of success, politically and throughout the labor movement to this day.

What changes did Augustus make in Rome’s political, military, and social institutions?
Leto [7]

Answer:

Political Institution: Augustus changed the <u>Roman government from an ineffective republic to the principate, by retaining the important powers that were invested in him by the senate during his war with Antony</u>. They saw a threat to Roman power in their refusal to worship Roman gods and as a force of social division.

Military Institution: In regards to the common Roman, Augustus made some rather large and important changes to the military. Previously, the Roman army was an Greek/Italian style army made up by the common man. The average Roman soldier would be a volunteer who might have been a farmer or artisan in everyday life, was untrained, and would serve for around 10 years. Under Augustus, the Roman army was transformed into a true, professional army. <u>Roman legionnaires were highly trained and served for closer to 20 years.</u> Since the army is still made of volunteers, Augustus needed convince young Romans to dedicate their working life to the army. Thankfully for him, his entire reformation process was based around centralizing the Roman focus to the needs of the state, so he was already on his way to building a massively strong army. However on top of that he enacted a few laws that provided benefits for soldiers in the Roman army. For example, <u>Augustus set aside a portion of the Roman treasury for the military treasury, which provided financial support such as pensions for the troops (“Augustan Army Reforms”).</u> With more reason to join the army, Roman men jumped on the opportunity, and once again followed along with the visions of Augustus.

Social Institution: <u>Augustus also enacted social reforms as a way to improve morality.</u> He felt particularly strong about encouraging families to have children and discouraging adultery. As such, he politically and financially rewarded families with three or more children, especially sons. This incentive stemmed from his belief that there were too few legitimate children born from “proper marriages.” On the other hand, he penalized unmarried men older than 38 years old by imposing on them an additional tax that others did not have to pay. They were also debarred from receiving inheritances and attending public games. Augustus also felt that people should not interact with or, especially, marry those outside of their own social class. As such, he created laws that reinforced hierarchical seating in the theatre and amphitheatre. For instance, front row seats were reserved for Senators, the next rows for equestrians, then the rest divided up for young men, soldiers, and so on.

Caesar failed because he was too focused on himself, Augustus succeeded because he turned his focus to the empire despite his manipulation of power.
