Answer:

The correct answer is <em>Government troops helped put down both strikes</em>

Explanation:

The fact that government troops had to be called in to end both strikes is perhaps one of the only commonality between both these incidents.

The Great Railroad Strike began on the 14th of July 1877 as the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad has reduced the wages of it's workers for three consecutive years.

The Strike started in Martinsburg but quickly spread to New York, Illinois, Maryland etc. After 45 days, the strike ended as local militias and government troops were brought in. At the end, over a 100 people lost their lives.

The Homestead Strike began in June 1892 when workers protested to the reduced wages being proposed by the Carnegie Steel Company in the town of Homestead. The strike was proposed by a Union and the manager of the steel plant was determined to end it. Eventually, the company hired detectives to protect the plant and an armed battle began.

Government troops were eventually called in and the strike was broken.

Typically, what percentage of eligible Americans votes in national elections?
kirill [66]

The correct answer is D. 70% or below

Explanation:

The term national elections refer to mainly the elections of the president and vice president of the U.S. that take place every four years and in which citizens from all states of the United States are asked to vote, this date usually coincides with other federal or local elections. Even though this election system has been used for many years it has been widely criticized, one of the reason for this is the low percentage of citizens that vote in national elections as this can imply this system is not really democratic as the opinion of the majority of U.S. citizens is not reflected on the elections, in this way during the elections of 2004 the percentage of eligible population that voted was 60.1%,and in in 2008 this percentage was 61.4%, which was the highest percentage since 1968 which suggest in most election the percentage has been near to 70% or under 70%. Thus, the percentage of eligible Americans that vote on national elections is around 70% or below.
