The main reason the United States government intervened in the Great Railroad Strike of 1877 was because it was leaving thousands of people without transportation, which meant that the US GDP was decreasing in hurting business of all kinds.
This question is probably connected to a story in whatever class your in but speaking for my immigrant parents.

I will answer the three options based on different kind of perspective of a person:
- I would chose the first option to escape and flee with my family to another part of Africa if my co-workers wouldn't agree with me in Options 2 or 3. It would be a personal option to escape because its for my own's best self-interest to survive in the world and avoid punishment.
- I would chose the second option to appeal to the missionaries or the authorities even the king if the work crew also agreed and have the same view of what's happening and in order to avoid a bloody and chaotic movement for reforms.
- I would only chose the last option to take arms if it is necessary and peaceful solution has failed. Also this is only possible if everyone in the work crew has the same views with me and lost hope for a peaceful reforms.
Remembering Tiananmen in Hong Kong has been viewed as an act of defiance for years, and it has become even more so now that the city’s own democratic future has come under threat. In the run-up to the 30th anniversary, demonstrators marched through the semi-autonomous enclave’s financial district chanting, “justice will prevail” and toting “support freedom” umbrellas. “In China, [people] can’t say anything against the government,” says Au Wai Sze, a nurse in Hong Kong who marched along with her 15-year-old daughter. “So while we in Hong Kong can still speak [out], we must represent the voice of the Chinese people and remind the world of this injustice.” Remembering Tiananmen in Hong Kong has been viewed as an act of defiance for years, and it has become even more so now that the city’s own democratic future has come under threat.

For all its power, China’s government is still deeply paranoid. Today, the regime is “stronger on the surface than at any time since the height of Mao’s power, but also more brittle,” Andrew Nathan, a professor of political science at Columbia University, wrote in Foreign Affairs. The people’s loyalty is predicated on wealth accumulation, which will be difficult to sustain. A sputtering economy, widespread environmental pollution, rampant corruption and soaring inequality have all fed public anxieties about Xi’s ability to continue fulfilling the prosperity-for-loyalty bargain.
