What effect do you think the Homestead and Pullman strikes had on American culture and society in this time period?

1 answer:

3 0

The aftermath of the Homestead strike resulted in Carnegie Steel and co. cutting wages down by a fifth, its owner refusing to deal with the steel workers union and increasing working hours from 8 hours a day to 12 hours. The continuous strikes and rioting left lots damaged infrastructure and the eventual arrival of the military led to the surrender of the cause.

The result of the Pullman strike left the national railroad system damaged and half functioning. It created a dispute between the American Railroad Union and the government due to the collapsing of the post service. The leader of the Union, Eugene V. Debs, was arrested. After military intervention due to continuous interefering with trains that carried mail cars, the strike collapsed.

In an effort to create a better climate for workes and organzied labor after the strikes, president Grover Cleveland designated Labor Day as a federal holiday.

In what ways, if any, does the monroe doctrine continue the american policy of neutrality

lianna [129]

The Monroe Doctrine is the denomination given to the approach that the US adopted in foreign policy in 1823, explicitly stating its oposition to European colonialism in America. The US expressed its intentions by claiming how any attempt undertaken by a European nation which aimed to gain control over an American territory would be regarded as "the manifestation of an unfriendly disposition towards the US", and the US would respond to such offense in consequence.

<u>The only manner in which the Monroe Doctrine kept a certain sense of neutrality was the fact that the US would not interfere in those American territories that were already under European control. </u>
