Answer:

The Battle of Galveston was a naval and land battle of the American Civil War, when Confederate forces under Major Gen. John B. Magruder expelled occupying Union troops from the city of Galveston, Texas on January 1, 1863.

After the loss of the cutter Harriet Lane, the Union Fleet Commander William B. Renshaw blew up the stranded vessel USS Westfield to save it from falling into enemy hands. Union troops on shore thought the fleet was surrendering, and laid down their arms. The battle is sometimes called the Second Battle of Galveston, as the Battle of Galveston Harbor (October 1862) is sometimes called the First Battle of Galveston.

In the 19th century there was a decline in the use of this word and substituted by "wage work", specially due to the Industrial Revolution, the dominance of the manufacturing activities and the irruption of the trade union system. This change of terms was the way of perpetuating it under a different denomination, but continuing the same practice.
