Announced by the Baltimore and Ohio (B&O), the railroad companies had taken advantage of the economic situation, with the determination to break the trade unions that had been formed by the workers before and after the American Civil War.
At the height of the struggle, the strikes was later subdued, for various reasons amongst which are:
1. The federal army did not break, by following order and staying together in the face of the militia. While the militas lacked effective leadership and coordination.
2. Despite the fears of the industrialists and the government, the workers lack organization amd methodical approach but rather spontaneous outbursts.
