Answer 1

Answer:

Answer: C) demonstrated the US government’s pro-business alliances.

Explanation:

Pullman Strike happened against the Pullman Palace Car Company in the company town of Pullman, Illinois, on May 11, 1894, by the American Railway Union under Eugene V. Debs. On July 3, 1894, President Grover Cleveland sent federal troops into the Chicago area, where the strike was centered. The Illinois governor insisted that the state could keep order, but President Cleveland claimed authority and stressed his duty to ensure delivery of the mail. Meanwhile, the attorney general won an injunction forbidding any interference with the mail or any effort to restrain interstate commerce. On July 13, the union called off the strike, after two months of strike. Based in this behavior we can say the US government was pro-business during the strike.
