Question

What is the main reason that the US government wanted to avoid large-scale railroad strikes after the Great Railroad Strike of 1877?

Answer 1

The main reason that the government of the United States wanted to avoid a large-scale railroad strike from recurring after the Great Railroad Strike of 1877, was because politicians realized how strikers were going to go through any means to have their voice heard to stop the corporations from taking over. This also caused a huge economic crisis, as many cities having huge amounts of losses in property damage. Because of this scare after the strike, many unions became better organized, however leaders became more rigid with labor, possibly because they were frightened of another great strike. However, this only motivated the union and the labor movement more to fight for what they believed was right.
