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.

Vlad1618 [11]

<u>Answer:</u> "Tornado" is a form of severe weather depicted in the given image.

<u>Explanation:</u>

A tornado is a rapidly spinning mass of air reaching down to the ground from the center of a thunderstorm. Tornadoes can completely destroy well-made buildings, uproot trees and hurl objects like lethal missiles through the air. Several types of tornadoes include multiple vortex tornado, landspout, and waterspout.

Tornadoes occurs very often in North America (especially in central and southeastern regions of the United States known as tornado alleys), southeastern South America, Southern Africa, Northwestern and Southeastern Europe, Bangladesh and adjacent eastern India, Western and Southeastern Australia and New Zealand.

Tornadoes can be detected before or as they occur with the help of Pulse-Doppler radar by recognizing patterns in data on velocity and reflectivity like hook echoes or debris balls, also by storm spotter effort.
