History
1 answer:
tresset_1 [31]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

I don't know if this is what you're looking for but during this time the North and the South we're in a bloodless battle against each other. the South wanted Kansas to be a slave state (the Kansas-Nebraska act led them to believe that) and the North wanted it to be a free state. so In 1855 when it was time to elect members of the legislature Southerners from Missouri poured into Kansas and voted early and often so Kansas leaned pro-slavery. the slave supporters then created their own government at Shawnee mission but since the free-soilers (abolitionists) couldn't except this they establish their own legislature in Topeka. so kansans had to choose between two governments one that was based on fraud and the other one that was based on the illegality

lol I'm sorry if that's confusing

Match each labor movement to the correct description.
Contact [7]

Answer:

1. Homestead strike - C. Seven union members and three Pinkerton workers died.

2. Pullman strike - A. The cause was a cut in wages without a reduction in rent.

3. Great Railroad strike - Governors from 10 states called in militia to stop violence.

4. Haymarket Riot - B. Several Chicago police officer were killed by a bomb, an act that was blamed on eight innocent men.

Explanation:

The Homestead strike was an industrial strike that ended in a battle between strikers and the Amalgamated Associaton of Iron and Steel workers, and private security agents (Pinkerton National Detective Agency). The battle occurred on July 6; in the aftermath of this battle, William Pinkerton stated before the Congress that three Pinkerton agents died in the strike, but the total number of agents who died was seven.

The Pullman strike was a nationwide strike in the United States; it was against the Pullman Company, the main railroads, and the federal government of the United States. It began when the company lowered wages, but it did not reduce rents. There were other reasons too, for example, the excessive water and gas rates, and the refusal by the company to allow workers to buy and own houses.

The Great Railroad Strike of 1877 began in West Virginia after the cutting out of wages for the third time in a year. This strike ended after 45 days when it was put down by local and state militias and federal troops.

The Haymarket Riot was the aftermath of a bombing that took place at a labor demonstration on May 4, 1886, at Haymarket Square in Chicago. It began as a strike for an eight-hour workday, but an unknown person threw a bomb at the police and killed seven police officers and at least four civilians. This act was blamed on eight anarchists; the evidence was that one of them may have built the bomb, but none of those on the trial had thrown it.

The correct answer is the Missouri Compromise.

The Kansas-Nebraska Act implemented the concept of popular sovereignty, meaning that the citizens had the ability to vote on whether or not they wanted the institution of slavery. This ability for the citizens to choose disregards the Missouri Compromise, which stated that any territory above the 36'30 line would be free from slavery. Even though both states are above this line, they can become slave states if their citizens vote for it.
