The following statements explains what happened during the Haymarket Square incident,

<u>Explanation:</u>
The Haymarket Affair (otherwise called the Haymarket Massacre, Haymarket Riot, or Haymarket Square Riot) was the fallout of a bombing that occurred at a work exhibition on May 4, 1886, at Haymarket Square in Chicago.
The rally started on 4th May and Albert Parsons, August Spies, and Samuel Fielden addressed the crowd who gathered for a peaceful negotiation of the worker's rights estimated from 600 to 3,000 in a open wagon near square on Des Plaines Street.
After the rally started, police arrived in group at around 10.30 pm and ordered the crowd rallying to disperse. Home-made bomb filled with dynamite was thrown in the path of the police coming towards them. At once after the bombing, gunshots were exchanged.
Arrest and conviction:
- 8 agitators were accused of plotting and doing the shelling (despite the fact that proof against them was powerless)
- 4 were hung, 1 self-murdered in jail, 3 were detained until John Peter Altgeld drove their sentences in 1893
